Patient's question:
Does having a boy with hepatitis B minor triple positive carrier status affect having children?Doctor's answer:
Hello, hepatitis B is mainly transmitted through blood, mother-to-child transmission, and sexual contact. Generally, if the woman is healthy, the chance of the man transmitting it to the offspring is very small.Advice: It is recommended that you have the woman tested for hepatitis B surface antigen and antibodies. If she has antibodies, there is no need to worry. Just take preventive measures during childbirth. Additionally, avoid blood contact with the child until antibodies develop. If the woman already has hepatitis B, it is important to take mother-to-child transmission prevention measures, which can significantly reduce the risk of transmitting the virus to the child.
