Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query your brother is having Hepatitis B disease and his marriage is getting planned, as Hepatitis B is sexually transmitted disease and virus is transmitted through blood and body fluids infected with Hepatitis B virus. As Hepatitis B is sexually transmitted, so after marriage there are chances that the spouse be infected. I would suggest you to visit Hepatologist once and get examination of levels of HBV done. Follow all the instructions given by Hepatologist and then take decision as it varies from person to person the levels of enzymes and its effects on body. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
