Hepatitis B virus infection can often cause viral hepatitis B. The main routes of transmission include mother-to-child transmission, sexual transmission, blood or body fluid transmission, and other extra-gastrointestinal routes. In a few cases where the mucous membrane of the digestive tract is broken, infection can also occur by sharing utensils such as chopsticks or using utensils with hepatitis B virus attached to them. If the infected person has a low immune system, a broken oral mucosa or oral ulcers, sharing chopsticks may cause infection. It is recommended to avoid sharing tableware and other personal items such as toothbrushes, towels and razors with hepatitis B patients in daily life, to choose strictly disinfected tableware or disposable tableware when dining in public places, and to try to choose restaurants with good environment and hygiene conditions. In addition, it is recommended to get vaccinated against hepatitis B to prevent the virus to a certain extent. Also, avoid blood donation and transfusion in informal institutions, as well as invasive operations such as ear piercing and tattooing, and wear condoms when having sex as much as possible to help prevent infection. In addition, if you are accidentally infected with the hepatitis B virus, or if you develop symptoms such as high fever, yellow staining of the skin and sclera, you should seek medical treatment in a timely manner, and antiviral drugs such as interferon and entecavir are commonly used in clinical practice. Patients are advised to strictly follow medical advice on medication, and pay attention to rest and a balanced diet to facilitate recovery.
