Does a hepatitis B patient get pregnant and infect the child?

Patient's question:

The patient you mentioned may transmit the infection to the child during pregnancy, or it may be transmitted to your husband during sexual intercourse. Only when the condition is suppressed to a certain extent and the virus load in the body is relatively low can it be considered to have a child. After having a child, the three months of pregnancy should undergo interruption treatment, which means administering the hepatitis B immune globulin to prevent transmission to the child.

Doctor's answer:

During pregnancy, if you are an HBV patient, it is very easy to transmit the virus to your child. However, if you go to the hospital and follow the doctor's guidance for treatment interruption, which involves receiving an injection of this immune globulin every month during the last three months of pregnancy, a large amount of HBV surface antibodies will reappear in your body. This can prevent the transmission of the virus to your child. After the child is born, they should also receive the hepatitis B vaccine.
