Question
Is there a risk of transmission for individuals without antibodies living with Hepatitis B patients? How long does treatment take to recover? Please provide professional advice.
Answer
Hepatitis B is primarily transmitted through blood and bodily fluids. Even if the surface and core antibodies are positive, there is still a certain degree of infectivity, but the risk is relatively low. It is recommended to take protective measures, such as using separate utensils and chopsticks, to reduce the chance of transmission. For individuals without antibodies, if all hepatitis B-related test results are negative, it is recommended to receive the hepatitis B vaccine to enhance their own immunity. Additionally, strengthening personal health also helps in preventing infection.
