Generally, men with "big three positives" have the virus present in their prostatic fluid. The detailed analysis is as follows:
"Big three positives" usually indicates infection with hepatitis B virus. Besides infection, this condition is also closely related to an individual's immune system and poor daily habits. Infection with hepatitis B virus triggers the body's overall immune response, leading to the production of various serum immunological markers. Hepatitis B virus is typically transmitted through blood, sexual contact, and mother-to-child transmission. Therefore, the virus can be present in prostatic fluid and semen, with viral load depending on the replication intensity of hepatitis B virus DNA in the body.
Patients with hepatitis B virus infection should, under medical guidance, take medications such as entecavir dispersible tablets or tenofovir alafenamide fumarate tablets. They should maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, consume more fresh vegetables and fruits, and supplement with high-quality proteins such as lean meat, fish, and eggs. Moderate physical exercise is also recommended to enhance immunity. If any discomfort occurs, immediate medical attention is advised.
