Would you marry...

[Grace76]

Hi
I wanted to get peoples opinions on something please. Hope you can answer this question.
Would you marry someone who is a hepatitis B carrier.
They don't know how they got it and they don't sleep around.
Plus there is a vaccine which you can get beforehand so you are protected. Would you marry them. They are perfectly healthy their health is not affected by it at all. They can go on to have healthy children too and the children would be protected as they are vaccinated after birth.
Thanks.

Why do you ask Grace ? Are you taking about yourself ?

Yes I would. Hep C would bother me more

Yes I would if the rest of the relationship is worth marrying! I work with said patients. As long he is open about his past sexual history I wouldn’t see it as an issue. Educate yourself on it, it might help with coming to terms with it if you haven’t already

Sorry I just jumped in and presumed you was talking about a male partner here!

Take what I said and apply to the context :)

I wouldn't hesitate to get in a relationship with someone who's been honest about their status, and as long as the required medical steps are taken, poses no risk to me.

No, but that's because I'd never marry again. IMHO it's just too risky nowadays with very little upside. As to the hepatitis, that's a personal choice but I'd listen to medical advice first as to consiquences.

Yes for myself

I would assume that if the relationship had reached the point of potential marriage then all of this would have been out in the open a long time ago and would be wondering why anyone would only reach the point of having misgivings when marriage came on the cards iyswim.

Surely the question would need to be whether you would enter into a relationship with someone who had been diagnosed with HepB in which case some answers could be different.

For me I don’t know enough about the illness to make an informed opinion of what I personally would do or feel, but in the event I was already knowingly in a relationship with someone with HepB it wouldn’t influence my decision on marriage. It would only do so if the HepB only ccame to light later in the relationship, at which point I would probably walk away on the basis I would assume they had contracted it through sexual contact with someone else while being in a relationship with me iyswim.

Yes I would. My DH had hepatitis B. We've two DC, neither have it.

Start a relationship is what meant.
