Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Five years ago, my friend was diagnosed with chronic hepatitis B infection. He was asymptomatic, and his laboratory results showed normal liver enzymes and LFT. Also, his abdominal ultrasound was normal. He is married, and his wife was vaccinated for hepatitis B three years ago. Is there a risk of transmission to his wife? If so, how can it be prevented?
Kindly advise.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern and would be happy to help.
Yes, hepatitis B can be transmitted by unprotected vaginal intercourse or oral sex. The use of a condom during intercourse can prevent transmission. I suggest he uses tablet Liv 52 (caparis spinosa and chicorium intybus) or capsule Amylcure DS (kutaki and revand) twice daily for three months. It is a herbal medicine and very effective in treating hepatitis B.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
