What should I do if I have a high level of hepatitis B virus?

Patient's question:

I used to be a carrier and later developed chronic hepatitis B with a viral load of 10^8. After taking Fuvir, the viral load decreased significantly, but there was a rebound before. I have been taking it for almost two years. Now I want to have children. However, with a viral load of 10^4, my liver function has remained normal, though the virus is still high. I have stopped taking it now.

Doctor's answer:

Liver function is normal. Medication should be stopped after 3 months before considering having children. Only need to administer one dose of hepatitis B immune globulin in the 7th, 8th, and 9th months of pregnancy. After the baby is born, administer one dose of hepatitis B immune globulin within 6 hours, and follow the 0.1.6 schedule for administering the hepatitis B vaccine. This can effectively prevent mother-to-child transmission. In addition to symptomatic treatment for liver disease, patients should pay attention to maintaining deep sleep in daily life. Sufficient deep sleep can help you recover from the disease more quickly.
