Patient's question:
Just started university, and I accidentally found out that my roommate has hepatitis B surface antigen positive (HBsAg+). Before, we used to eat dinner together every day, order food together, pass food back and forth, eat from each other's bowls, and I even drank from her cup. Does HBsAg+ cause infection? What are the symptoms of HBsAg+? What tests should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis B patients with, if they do not reappear liver function abnormalities, will never produce clinical manifestations. Generally, they may easily reappear abnormalities in the hepatitis B five-item test during health checks. Oral antiviral drugs can be taken for treatment. It is important to pay close attention to symptoms such as decreased appetite, abdominal pain, nausea, and fever in the liver area, as these may indicate that liver cells have been injured again.
