Is a positive result for hepatitis B (antibody 2) indicative of hepatitis B disease?

Patient's question:

Hello, I am 17 weeks pregnant and had a health check. The result showed hepatitis B positive (2). Is it hepatitis B? Will it affect the fetus?

Doctor's answer:

For a positive hepatitis B result, it depends on what it indicates. If it's just a positive surface antibody, there's no problem. If it indicates infectiousness, treatment is needed. Chronic hepatitis B can be prevented from being transmitted to the fetus through proper early diagnosis and standardized treatment. The daily treatment for hepatitis B patients mainly involves medication. Patients can take various oral medications, supplement with many vitamins, and pay attention to regular routines, avoiding smoking and alcohol. We hope hepatitis B patients can recover quickly! Thank you!
