Patient's question:
I am 38 years old. Recently, I feel that my liver is very tired. I haven't had a good appetite, and at night, I always feel a sharp pain in my stomach. I went to a nearby hospital for a check-up and was told it's a liver disease. They asked me to get an injection. I am wondering if my husband's positive can be transmitted?Doctor's answer:
In this situation, it is first recommended to conduct a thorough hepatitis B series of tests for all family members to check their health status. If all family members are currently normal, then check if they have hepatitis B antibodies. If they don't have hepatitis B antibodies, it is timely to get the hepatitis B vaccine. Since the baby is only three months old and the hepatitis B vaccine course has not yet been fully completed, it is advised that the husband should avoid close contact with the baby, especially contact with blood. This disease is contagious but primarily spreads through blood.
