Patient's question:
My girlfriend is a carrier of the hepatitis B virus. Does it affect having children? Will it be inherited? Thank you:Doctor's answer:
Hello, the hepatitis B virus is generally not inherited but can be transmitted from mother to child. Advice: Typically, pregnant hepatitis B patients are required to receive the hepatitis B vaccine and hepatitis B immune globulin. Additionally, the infant should also be vaccinated shortly after birth to prevent the transmission of hepatitis B to the baby.
