How Can Hepatitis B Virus Spreading Through Intercourse Be Avoided?
Hi, I'm a female. I have hepatitis b. Actually I don't have the virus yet. I mean my body is still fighting for it. In future, I won't get the virus at all as my doctor told me. It will always fight for it, and it is like 5%-10% germs. I know I cannot share my food, or kiss anyone. However; according to sex, I have a few questions. Can I do a blowjob with my partner? And can he do an oral sex with me, such as licking my private? Will he get it? I'm just concerned, becuase I don't want him to get it from me.

Hello,
I have read your questions and can underatand your concerns. Hepatitis B is too easy to transmit sexually. The virus mainly transmits through infected person's vaginal secretions, saliva and semen and blood.
Oral sex is one of the highly possible ways of transmitting the virus. So I feel sorry to inform you that oral sex is not a good idea and you should refrain from it until your consulting physician gives you clean chit from being a carrier of the virus. Giving your partner oral sex may transmit the virus through your saliva, and if he gives you oral sex, then you can transmit it through vaginal secretions.
However, hugging, holding hands and dry kissing does not transmit the virus. Deep kissing transmits virus through saliva so you should refrain from it.
I hope this information helps. Thank you for choosing HealthCareMagic.
Best,
