I understand. I used to think like that too. Until I learnt the science behind spreading the virus.
You don’t get it from touching blood.
Knowing that has taken my fear away and allowed me to live a semi normal life.
With your levels going up. Are you seeing doctor about your results. There is very good treatment available. 7000 is not a lot but needs advice from doctors. It could be the stress from having a baby.
I wouldn’t worry about your relatives, suggesting vaccination. I suggested it to my siblings and mother and they refused. And no one ever got it from me you just need to be careful but not overly worried.
Cover your wounds. Wrap Menstrual products in plastic and disregard. There’s also reusable pads you could make or possibly buy, that way you can wash them yourself.
I can’t say for sure but I doubt if you got form sister . The most likely scenario is your mother had it and you and your sister got it from your mum. That is how it is mostly spread or commonly passed to others. Maybe your mum did not know she had it. Maybe she had a false test or maybe she feel so guilty.
I would tend to agree with this, unless your mother had a confirmed negative HBV test result during each of her pregnancies with you and your sister. If your sister was the first one in the family to ever get tested, that doesn’t necessarily mean that she was the first one to catch the virus.
My mom is 50 years old my sister is 28 when she came to know about this doctors here suggested vaccine for her husband and baby but not the family members she is living with, after 3 years when I got pregnant I came to know about this and tested whole family,me and my mom is positive my little sister is negative also my father, doctor said as me and my mom are in early stage and not even HBV DNA not detected in our case so my father didn’t got it from my mother and my husband didn’t got it from me,my sister always used to stay out side of the home upto 10 years for studies and returned home during her marriage time and stayed with us, one day remember throwing her fully blood wet underwear,may be that the day I got it,also my mom was with my sister during her labour and recovery process when she bleeded for a month so may be she got at that time
As mentioned in previous messages, your risk of passing on the virus is very low to negligible in these instances, as it requires some blood to blood contact, not just on the skin. Also, soapy water is very effective at inactivating the virus.
You said blood to blood contact that means if some with virus on their hand touches food like apple if some one with no hbsag eats then don’t they get it??
I also have doubt about having physical relationship with my husband who is vaccinated , it’s been a year we met, now he is forcing to have physical relationship but I’m worried about transmission , I have read in internet have physical relationship will have most chances of transmitting virus what can I do now
Hi @Harini,
If your husband is vaccinated and has developed antibodies, there should be no concern about HBV. Emphasis is on having developed antibodies. He can double-check to ensure that is the case, and if it is, then there is almost zero risk of infection. Best, Bansah1
In Google it is showing as yes for sure he will get HBV even tho vaccinated,can anyone went through this did you checked your partners hbv status regularly,if you share then I’m may feel bit ok without worrying.
I am not sure what you are reading on Google. The fact is once someone is vaccinated and has strong antibodies even when exposed they can’t get HBV. Please take anything you read on Google with a grain of salt. Bansah1
This is big problem with internet and Google- FALSE information. That’s one of the reasons this community was started. Our information is science backed.
Please check where the information has come from.
I had physical relations quite a few times before my husband was vaccinated. He did not get virus.
I was also married to him for 18 years being physical approximately 3 times a week. He did not get the virus. Because he was vaccinated.
Please, for the sake of your marriage and so he doesn’t go seek sex elsewhere and possibly picking up other diseases.
. The most likely scenario is your mother had it and you and your sister got it from your mum. That is how it is mostly spread or commonly passed to others. Maybe your mum did not know she had it. Maybe she had a false test or maybe she feel so guilty.
