What is the Islam view on husband suspecting his wife about her past integrity?

Question :
What is the Islam view on husband suspecting his wife about her past integrity, because she is tested hepatitis b positive and what he should do about the issue? Thanks.

Answer:
It is sad when ones wife is infected with Hepatitis B. In that case her blood will also confirm that she is a carrier, unless she has been vaccinated from young and has Hepatitis B antibodies! After having married her through thick and thin and now harboring doubts about her past integrity is even sadder. The doubtful Thomas need to read more about the transmission of Hepatitis B before he makes any conclusion. The passage below was taken from WIKIPEDIA and the source is very reliable. Please view the passage and take a look at the sentence highlighted.

Transmission of Hepatitis B
Transmission of hepatitis B virus results from exposure to infectious blood or body fluids containing blood. Possible forms of transmission include (but are not limited to) unprotected sexual contact, blood transfusions, re-use of contaminated needles & syringes, and vertical transmission from mother to child during childbirth. Without intervention, a mother who is positive for HBsAg confers a 20% risk of passing the infection to her offspring at the time of birth. This risk is as high as 90% if the mother is also positive for HBeAg. HBV can be transmitted between family members within households, possibly by contact of nonintact skin or mucous membrane with secretions or saliva containing HBV. However, at least 30% of reported hepatitis B among adults cannot be associated with an identifiable risk factor.

Can I get any diseases from it even if my partner does not have any STDs?

Question:
I’ve just started experimenting on oral sex. I’m just curious if there would be any harm of swallowing instead of spitting. Can I get any diseases from it even if my partner does not have any STDs?

Answer:
So you are adventurous, good for you and your lucky partner. Be extra careful not to bite him. Your bite might be more harmful compared to swallowing his semen. You might enjoy a gourmet dish with the dash of salt and nothing else if his semen is microbes free.

Stomach Pain After Sex

Question: Dr, I hope you can advice me on my problem. I usually experience a dull pain in the lower part of my stomach after sex. This kind of ruins the pleasure of sex for me. Is this normal? What do you think might be the cause? Is there any medication or herbs I can take to make it go away? I’m 28.
Answer: Sexual intercourse usually provides much pleasure to both parties if they are up to it or otherwise if they do it just for the sake of fulfilling their responsibilities. If this occurs then the act will not be pleasurable, there will not be any release of beta endorphin that is the natural pain reliever and the partner that is not actually enjoying it will experience all sorts of pain and discomfort that can be brought about by the strain muscles, the strain ligaments, the back ache and the abdominal ache or pain. If sexual intercourse has been pleasurable for the individual and if he is a guy, then the discomfort can be due to muscle cramp or movement of gas which is dislodged during active physical movement. Rarely the bladder gives problem. If the individual is a woman, the lower abdominal discomfort can be due to mild uterine and tubal contraction triggered by hormone oxytocin which is released by the anterior pituitary gland brought by orgasm. Rarely the discomfort is due to bladder. Other causes include pelvic adhesions due to old pelvic infection or endometriosis. It is wise for the individual who has this disturbing post coital lower abdominal discomfort to seek professional help. The individual needs to be examined and only after the examination will the doctor is in a position to provide some form of remedy.
