Recently, Lanzhou, Gansu. Wang and her husband Zhang were introduced by a friend to get married. Only a few months after the marriage, they found out that her husband had been suffering from hepatitis B, so they filed for divorce, and demanded that her husband compensate for his mental damage on the grounds that he deliberately concealed his major medical history and constituted fraud. The court held that hepatitis B was not a “serious disease” stipulated in the Civil Code, and finally ruled to dissolve the marriage between the two and rejected Wang’s other claims. The mental damage caused by the man to the woman is not discussed here. The main point is to see whether the woman and the man will be infected when they marry? How likely are offspring to be infected?
1. Is hepatitis B an infectious disease? What is the infection through? Hepatitis B is a Class B infectious disease clearly stipulated in our infectious disease prevention and control measures. Transmission through blood, sexual transmission, and mother-to-child transmission. Common transmission scenarios in life include blood transfusion, sharing razors, skin and mucous membrane damage and contact with infected blood, eating together, working together and not in close contact are generally not infected.
2. Whether one of the parties in the marriage is hepatitis B or hepatitis B virus carrier will infect the other party, whether people will be infected with hepatitis B virus and the amount of exposure to the virus, the body’s own immunity, and infection It is related to the way of life. In Japan, two volunteers were injected with liquid containing hepatitis B virus at the same time. One was infected and died, and the other one could not even find the virus.
3. Will it be transmitted to the child? Generally, father-to-child transmission occurs after the child is born. If the mother does not contract hepatitis B from the father, the child will not be infected with hepatitis B before birth. Hepatitis B is more likely to be transmitted to the child, but injecting the child with a blocking needle within 24 hours of birth can prevent hepatitis B infection.
In addition, whether a hepatitis B patient will infect others mainly depends on whether the patient has the virus excreted from the body. In many cases, the virus will hide in the liver cells and secretly replicate, but it will not be assembled into a complete virus and excreted from the body. , the probability of infecting others is relatively small at this time. This can be seen in the hepatitis B antibody antigen test. The big three yang and the small three yang are generally more contagious.
