Patient's question:
I am 38 years old. Recently, I feel that my liver is very tired. I haven't had much 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 was liver disease. They asked me to get an injection. I am asking if my husband having hepatitis B will be contagious?Doctor's answer:
In this situation, it is first recommended to conduct a series of hepatitis B 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 advisable to get the hepatitis B vaccine promptly. Since the baby is only three months old and the hepatitis B vaccination course has not yet been fully completed, it is recommended that the husband avoid close contact with the baby, especially contact with blood. This disease is contagious but primarily spreads through blood.
