What to do if you are infected with hepatitis B virus
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a common public health problem around the world. Among the hot medical and health topics discussed on the Internet recently, hepatitis B prevention and treatment has once again become the focus. The following is a guide for responding to hepatitis B infection, compiled based on the hot content on the Internet in the past 10 days.
1. Core data on hepatitis B virus infection
| Data category | value/description | Source |
|---|---|---|
| infected people around the world | About 296 million people | WHO 2023 report |
| Prevalence in China | 5-6% (about 70 million carriers) | National Health Commission data |
| Transmission route | blood, mother-infant, sexual contact | CDC guidance |
| Self-healing rate (acute infection in adults) | More than 90% | clinical research statistics |
2. Response steps after diagnosis
1.Confirm infection status
Determine the stage of infection through five hepatitis B tests:
| Test items | Positive meaning |
|---|---|
| HBsAg | Signs of current infection |
| HBsA | Virus high replication status |
| HBV-DNA | Viral load quantification |
2.Hierarchical diagnosis and treatment plan
According to the "Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Chronic Hepatitis B" recommendations:
| disease classification | Treatment measures |
|---|---|
| Carriers (normal liver function) | Regular monitoring, no medication required |
| chronic hepatitis | Antiviral treatment (entecavir, etc.) |
| Cirrhosis | Combined antifibrotic therapy |
3. New developments in prevention and control that are hotly discussed across the Internet
1.Vaccine booster shot controversy
Recent studies show that the antibody positivity rate drops below 50% 20 years after vaccination, and experts recommend that high-risk groups be tested and revaccinated.
2.Progress in new therapies
RNA interference drugs, such as VIR-2218, have been shown to reduce HBsAg levels in clinical trials but are not yet commercially available.
3.social discrimination issues
The topic #HBV workplace discrimination# has been read more than 200 million times, and the law clearly stipulates that hepatitis B carriers cannot be refused admission.
4. Daily life management
1.dietary taboos

5. Psychological support resources
The recently launched "Hepatobiliary Care" APP provides mutual aid services to patients, and its registered users have exceeded 300,000.
Summary:Hepatitis B virus infection needs to be treated scientifically, and most patients can maintain a normal life with standard treatment. Timely vaccination, regular physical examination, and avoiding transmission are the key. The latest data shows that patients who receive standardized treatment can reduce the risk of liver cancer by more than 70%.
