“Many couples have the misconception that if one partner has hepatitis B, the other will definitely be infected as well, and many couples even get divorced for this reason, which is really not worth it.” Experts say that the transmission of hepatitis B is mainly through blood transmission, and it is not very likely that couples living together will lead to infection. “There is a couple, the man has hepatitis B, just got a marriage license, the woman’s parents then let their daughter and the man divorced, it’s a pity.” Experts say that many people have this misconception, which has led to many couples like this one having relationship crises and even getting divorced over it. Hepatitis B is mainly a disease that spreads through the blood, and the hepatitis B virus in the blood will enter the body through broken skin and mucous membrane wounds and become infectious, and general contact without blood will not cause infection. But in irregular hospitals and small clinics to pull teeth or abortion surgery, husband and wife share razor, shaving in the barbershop cleanliness index is not up to, etc., may be infected by hepatitis B. Especially nowadays, young people do tattoos and ear piercing in pursuit of fashionable, and in places with poor sanitation facilities, there is also the possibility of infection. “Will sharing meals, using the same cup for drinking, and kissing make the hepatitis B virus spread from one party to the other?” Experts say that hepatitis B is a non-gastrointestinal infectious disease, which means that the hepatitis B virus is not transmitted through the food you eat or the water you drink. If you kiss, even with a mouth ulcer, the likelihood of contracting the hepatitis B virus is minimal. “However, it is important to note that couples where one partner has hepatitis B must not use the same toothbrush and toothpaste for both partners to avoid infection to the other partner.” “Although adults living together in common may not infect each other, but there are children under the age of five in the family, you have to pay special attention in life.” Experts say that infants and young children have poorer resistance, and adults with hepatitis B should not take care of their children’s food, and their utensils should not be mixed with those of small children. Experts remind that parents should have the awareness of giving children the hepatitis B vaccine. The other two main forms of hepatitis B transmission through blood are mother-to-child transmission – which mostly occurs during childbirth – and sexual transmission. Korea Kyung said many couples are overly nervous about the possibility of contracting the hepatitis B virus through sexual transmission. “Sexual transmission is actually very unlikely to occur compared to blood and mother-to-child transmission. If you get the hepatitis B vaccine, you can prevent this transmission very effectively.” “Overall, couples in which one partner is living with hepatitis B do not have to live together at all, as long as they get the hepatitis B vaccine and pay a little attention to the details of their lives, as if they were on the verge of a divorce, or even ending up in divorce.”
