Is hepatitis B contagious?

Patient's question:

After becoming pregnant, I had a 23-week check-up for hepatitis B, and the results showed a plus sign for HBC-antigen and HBS-antigen, as well as a plus sign for HBE-antigen. At 29 weeks, I had another recheck, and the results were the same. Yesterday, at 38 weeks, I went to the 256th Army Hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said that according to national regulations, this situation requires a visit to a maternity hospital.

Doctor's answer:

In your case, you are in the complete recovery stage of hepatitis B infection, with very low transmissibility. Based on your test results, you have previously been infected with the hepatitis B virus and are now in the complete recovery stage, with very low transmissibility. General daily contact will absolutely not transmit the virus to others. Your child will have no problem receiving the hepatitis B vaccine after birth. There is no need to worry too much.
In addition to treating hepatitis B, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a positive mood to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
