Hi,
Vaccination remains the mainstay of hepatitis B prevention. The hepatitis B vaccine is highly effective, providing protection for at least 20 years, and may be lifelong if the post-vaccination-generated antiretroviral antibody levels are > 1000 IU/L.
In addition, to prevent hepatitis B infection, you can note some of the following living habits: Limit drinking beer and alcohol, have a healthy diet rich in vegetables and fruits, low in fat; People with cirrhosis should reduce salt in their diet. Be careful with drugs or functional foods that can harm the liver (especially Chinese medicines of unknown origin). Disinfect carefully when injured, bleeding. Use protection when having sex to prevent infection. Do not share needles. Do not share tools or must be disinfected before tattooing, acupuncture, ear piercing. If you need more advice, you can go to Vinmec Health System hospitals nationwide to be examined by qualified and experienced doctors and give useful advice.
