How can hepatitis B affect my relationships?

Hepatitis B can bring challenges that may affect your relationships with family, friends, and partners. You might worry about passing the virus to others or feel unsure about how to talk about it. This can sometimes lead to feelings of loneliness or stress.

It’s important to know that hepatitis B is spread through blood and sexual fluids, but with the right precautions, the risk of passing it to loved ones is very low. Learning more about the virus and talking openly can help clear up misunderstandings and ease worries.

Having support from family and friends can make a big difference. If you’re feeling unsure or overwhelmed, talking to a doctor or joining a support group can help you feel more confident and connected.
