What are the effects of hepatitis B on having children?

Patient's question:

I am an HBsAg positive patient with normal liver function. I want to know if I can have children in the future and what precautions I should take?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! Individuals with minor hepatitis B (HBsAg positive, HBeAg negative, anti-HBe positive) and normal liver function can have children. It is recommended to check HBV DNA as well. If it is negative, the impact will be smaller. However, regardless of the situation, postpartum infant prophylaxis measures should be taken, which include administering hepatitis B immune globulin and hepatitis B vaccine.
