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.
