My friend has hepatitis B and is going to marry. Should he reveal his disease to his bride. Pls advice?

If he has a persistent Hep B infection than, yes, he needs to inform his sexual partners. If he is getting married, his partner should make sure s/he has received the Hep B vaccination.

But if, like the over 80% of people who contract HepB, he has cleared the infection in the first 6 months and only his Hep B antibodies remain, his partner is not at risk.

Hep B is a vaccine-preventable illness.

Absolutely!! Hepatitis B is a very infectious and serious disease.

If he did not tell her and she contracted it from him and died, it would be like commiting murder.

Yes. He would have a meaningless and deceitful marriage if he didnt. Imagine she finds out on a hospital visit with him What then? Shell be on here asking our advice on the divorce bro.
let her know

Absolutely!
He must tell her. That is putting her life and health at risk! Because they may want to have children someday and it could be passed on to them!

YEAH. HE LOVED HER HE WOULD HAVE TOLD HER. I WOULD DEF TELL HER. LOL GIMME HER NUMBER AND ILL TELL HER

Yes he should have been told her that.
