Does the child have the hepatitis B virus?

Patient's question:

Does a person with chronic hepatitis B (HBsAg positive) have the hepatitis B virus after marriage and having children? Does it affect the child if I am a man?

Doctor's answer:

This depends on your liver function and HBV-DNA status. The infectiousness of hepatitis B with three positive indicators () is relatively high. It is recommended that your wife get vaccinated against hepatitis B promptly. Before antibodies develop, use condoms during sexual activity. After the child is born, administer hepatitis B immune globulin and the hepatitis B vaccine within 12 hours. For the patient, if the condition of hepatitis B with three positive indicators is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication are necessary. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of hepatitis B with three positive indicators. Additionally, patients need to pay attention to their diet and psychological care. I hope the answers to these questions can help everyone. Thank you.
