Patients with hepatitis B can have intercourse, but it is best to take protective measures, such as using condoms, as this is the best way to prevent transmission of the disease. The spouse of a person infected with the hepatitis B virus is more likely to be infected with hepatitis B than other family members, and although most infections will cure themselves, a small percentage will be transmitted. The spouse and family members of a person with hepatitis B are better off having a timely hepatitis B test, and if there are no antibodies, they should go to the local CDC or community health center to get the hepatitis B vaccine, which is currently the best way to protect against hepatitis B transmission, and the price is not very high, and the injection is more convenient.
