Does the father have hepatitis B, will the child also have it?

Patient's question:

I have hepatitis B, will my daughter get it?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, friend. You are male and have hepatitis B. The hepatitis B virus is mainly transmitted through mother-to-child transmission, blood transmission, and sexual transmission. Male hepatitis B patients generally do not pass it on to the next generation. However, under the condition of oral ulcers, it is possible to transmit it to family members through food. It is recommended that after the daughter is born, she should receive the normal vaccination, and once antibodies are developed, she can be protected from infection.
