Hello doctor. The doctor asked me if my wife has hepatitis B but I have not, how to prevent infection? Do you have to get vaccinated again? Looking forward to consulting your doctor. Thank you doctor!

Hello. You should be tested to see if you have antibodies against hepatitis B. If you already have hepatitis B antibodies and the antibody levels are high enough to protect you from hepatitis B attack, you don't need to get vaccinated. If the test shows that you do not have antibodies against hepatitis B or have, but low, not enough protection, your doctor will vaccinate you as long as you say you do not have hepatitis B. Currently for prevention. Hepatitis B that you have not had time to get vaccinated, you should have sex with a condom to protect yourself.
