Patient's question:
My sister-in-law was infected with the hepatitis B virus during her university years and is now a carrier of the hepatitis B virus. Her daily life is generally good, and her spirits are also good. However, she is now pregnant and wants to ask if, like her sister-in-law, a hepatitis B virus carrier can transmit the virus to her baby.Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis B virus carriers are infectious. The transmission routes of hepatitis B are blood, mother-to-child, and sexual contact. It is not transmitted through daily life. The best prevention method is to get the hepatitis B vaccine.Advice: It is recommended that you get tested for the five hepatitis B items. If you are not infected and have no antibodies, get the hepatitis B vaccine immediately.
