Patient's question:
I am an patient. I have been living with my family for so long, will they get infected by me?Doctor's answer:
The spread of hepatitis B virus is mainly through mother-to-child transmission, blood transmission, and body fluid transmission. The transmission you're considering, through eating dinner, falls under body fluid transmission, but the chances are extremely low, as the virus content in body fluids is very minimal, making it highly unlikely to cause infection. It is recommended that your family members get a thorough medical examination. If both the hepatitis B and liver function tests are normal, they can receive the hepatitis B vaccine. Once antibodies are developed, there is no need to worry, as having antibodies means they will no longer be able to transmit the hepatitis B virus. In addition to symptomatic treatment for chronic hepatitis B (), patients also need to pay attention to nursing care, such as maintaining a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, patients should also choose a reputable hospital for treatment to ensure a good therapeutic outcome.
