Hello! As you described, nausea and vomiting often appear after eating. I need to see a specialist in Gastroenterology to be examined by a doctor and endoscopy if necessary, combined with HP virus testing when having stomach pain.
To accurately conclude whether hepatitis B is sexually transmitted, you can do more necessary blood tests. In addition, you should use protection when having sex.
Besides, you can go to the hospitals of Vinmec Health System nationwide to be examined by experienced doctors and give appropriate treatment for your medical condition.
Thank you for trusting Vinmec, looking forward to meeting you for more specific advice. Best regards!
