Partner with hepatitis or HIV
Overview
Having a sexual or intimate partner diagnosed with hepatitis or HIV increases your risk of contracting these bloodborne infections through unprotected contact. This situation requires immediate medical consultation for testing, prevention strategies, and potential prophylactic treatment.
Common Causes
Having a partner with hepatitis or HIV can cause stress and anxiety about potential transmission, even when proper precautions are taken. The emotional weight of supporting a loved one with a chronic condition, along with concerns about intimate contact and future health, can manifest as physical symptoms. Additionally, lifestyle changes such as increased medical appointments, medication schedules, and heightened awareness of health risks can disrupt normal routines and contribute to stress-related symptoms.
Severity Levels
Mild: Your partner has been diagnosed but you have no symptoms and practice safe behaviors. Schedule routine testing and discuss prevention methods with your healthcare provider.
Moderate: You've had unprotected contact with an infected partner or are experiencing early symptoms. Seek medical evaluation within days for testing and possible preventive treatment.
Severe: You've had recent high-risk exposure or are showing signs of infection such as fatigue, nausea, or jaundice. Contact your healthcare provider immediately or visit an urgent care facility for emergency testing and treatment options.
Medical Attention
Contact a healthcare provider immediately if you've had unprotected intimate contact with a partner who has hepatitis or HIV. Seek urgent medical attention within 72 hours for potential preventive treatments that can significantly reduce transmission risk. Schedule regular testing and discuss ongoing prevention strategies with your doctor, even if initial tests are negative.
