A member asked:
Is hepatitis b carrier can affect his family or himself?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Hepatitis B carrier: Hepatitis b is usually transmitted either through blood or sexual contact. It is easy to get protected against hepatitis b with hepatitis b vaccine. Family members should get tested and immunized if not already exposed or immune. Many hepatitis b carriers eventually become immune and are no longer carriers.
