In my clinic, I often see some young people, wearing masks and hats, “fully armed” to see me, I was surprised to see them dressed like this, so I asked them: “Young man, what are you doing ah, to come to my place to see a doctor, why so To come to my place to see a doctor, do you have to be so ‘fully armed’?” They always told me with a helpless face: “Director, you don’t know, I have no choice but to dress like this, I don’t want people to recognize me, I don’t want people to know that I am a hepatitis B patient, I am afraid that people around me will know and they will alienate me, I don’t want to lose my job, I don’t want to lose my friends.” Hearing such a response, I feel very hard, I did not expect that people’s misunderstanding of hepatitis B will be so big, today I will take you to see it, it is as terrible as you think? Viral hepatitis B, referred to as “hepatitis B”, it is caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV), mainly inflammatory lesions of the liver, and can cause multi-organ damage to a disease. There are currently tens of millions of chronic hepatitis B patients and 120 million asymptomatic carriers in China, and about 10% of the Chinese in Hong Kong are carriers. Therefore, it has become one of the most widespread and dangerous diseases in China. It can develop all year round, and the incidence is increasing significantly. Since the incidence of hepatitis B is so high, through which it is transmitted? 1. Blood transmission: ? Transfusion of blood products can also be infected with hepatitis B. 2, mother-to-child transmission: refers to the hepatitis B virus surface antigen-positive mother, in the process of pregnancy and delivery, the transmission of hepatitis B virus to the fetus or newborn, causing the process of infant hepatitis B virus infection. 3.Sexual transmission: Sexual transmission is also a kind of body fluid transmission. If you have broken the mucous membrane of your mouth and lips and kissed a person infected with the hepatitis B virus, there is also the possibility of being infected. 4, close contact transmission: after the damage to the skin and mucous membranes, the body fluids of hepatitis B patients and then fall on your broken skin and mucous membranes may be infected; also in daily life can be shared with razors, toothbrushes and other causes of transmission. 5, medical transmission: In the hospital examination and treatment process, the use of medical equipment contaminated by hepatitis B patients caused by infection, such as dental instruments, acupuncture needles and endoscopic equipment. The above is the transmission of hepatitis B, that we live in some common situations will be infected with hepatitis B? 1, eating with hepatitis B patients: the human digestive system has substances that can inhibit the hepatitis B virus, which is destroyed in the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, under normal circumstances, eating with hepatitis B patients will not be infected, the possibility of transmission by saliva is very small, unless a very coincidental situation occurs, that is, the oral mucosa are broken, then it is possible to be infected. 2, and hepatitis B patients in the same unit of class or work: first of all, colleagues or classmates, at most, just like shaking a hand, take something like non-intimate contact, in the case of no damage to the hands, hepatitis B virus is no way of transmission, so how can hepatitis B virus, and how to enter each other’s blood? 3, worry about mosquito bites will infect hepatitis B virus: mosquitoes after sucking blood, it takes a long time to digest, at least 72 hours; but the hepatitis B virus, it can only survive in the body of the mosquito up to 48 hours, before the next target bite, the virus has died, you say, the bite of the mosquito will not spread hepatitis B? Through the above, we can see that hepatitis B is not as terrible as we think, while in many areas, such as school admissions, entry physical examinations have not been required for hepatitis B testing, but there are still many people, because of the lack of understanding of hepatitis B, and discriminate against hepatitis B patients, resulting in hepatitis B patients are under great pressure of life and psychological pressure. I hope that through this article, we can do a good job of protecting ourselves, such as the hepatitis B vaccination. But at the same time, through scientific knowledge, respect hepatitis B patients to avoid unnecessary harm to them.
