After the holidays, the number of AIDS consultation calls from Zhejiang CDC increased two or three times! Similarly, how to prevent hepatitis B?

Recently, the news that the number of AIDS consultation calls from Zhejiang CDC increased two or three times after the Spring Festival has become a hot search. In fact, the transmission routes of AIDS and hepatitis B are very similar. my country is a country with a high incidence of hepatitis B, so it is the responsibility of liver disease doctors to educate the public on how to prevent the spread of hepatitis B!

1. Understand the transmission routes of hepatitis B

First, we need to understand how the hepatitis B virus is transmitted. Hepatitis B is mainly transmitted in the following ways:

Blood transmission: such as sharing needles, transfusion of untreated blood, etc.

Sexual transmission: unprotected sex with an infected person.

Mother-to-child transmission: When a pregnant woman has a high viral load, the fetus can be easily infected during delivery.

Transmission through close contact in daily life: Although this route is relatively rare, there is still a certain risk.

2. Vaccination

The most effective way to prevent hepatitis B is to get vaccinated against hepatitis B. According to the recommendations of my country's health department, newborns should receive the first dose of hepatitis B vaccine within 24 hours after birth, and then complete the full course of vaccination according to the vaccination plan. Adults who have not received the hepatitis B vaccine can also go to a medical institution for vaccination.

3. Avoid unnecessary risks

Do not share personal hygiene items: such as toothbrushes, razors, etc.

Use needles safely: Whether in a home or medical setting, make sure that disposable needles are not used by others.

Treat wounds correctly: If you are accidentally injured, wash the wound immediately with soap and water and seek medical attention as soon as possible.

4. Regular physical examination

Through regular health check-ups, you can keep abreast of your health status, especially the status of hepatitis B virus infection. For high-risk groups, such as family members and sexual partners of hepatitis B virus carriers, more attention should be paid to regular check-ups.

5. Healthy Lifestyle

Maintaining good living habits, such as moderate exercise, maintaining a good attitude, not smoking and not drinking, will help enhance the body's immunity and reduce the risk of hepatitis B infection.
