Patient's question:
A year ago, I was diagnosed with hepatitis B surface antigen positive (HBsAg+). The treatment hasn't been very effective. Now I've given birth to a girl, and I'm worried about whether I'll infect her. I'm concerned that this will affect my child. I want to know if HBsAg+ is contagious?Doctor's answer:
You can have the baby undergo a detailed check of the five hepatitis B virus items to rule out the possibility of transmission. Generally, the spread of hepatitis B virus occurs through vertical transmission from mother to child, blood, and sexual transmission, among others. Based on the described situation, it is advisable to actively conduct tests to prevent transmission. Since the patient is directly facing the harm of "big three positive" hepatitis B, we should actively implement thorough examinations and treatment, without avoiding medical consultation. If the "big three positive" hepatitis B is not cured after prolonged treatment, it is necessary to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
