Question
Can male Hepatitis B patients have children, and how can they avoid sexual transmission and genetic risks?
Answer
Hepatitis B is primarily transmitted through blood, semen, and vaginal secretions, and sexual contact can lead to infection. The best preventive measure is to get vaccinated against Hepatitis B and to use condoms before antibodies are produced. Treatment for Hepatitis B carriers includes interferon, lamivudine, and adefovir tablets, but these drugs may cause drug resistance, viral mutation, and side effects. The currently recommended treatment method is the “combined therapy of traditional Chinese and Western medicine with gene immunotherapy and vaccine,” which can kill the Hepatitis B virus, protect normal cells from damage, slow down liver fibrosis, prevent recurrence, and cancer.
