Can hepatitis B minor positive be inherited to the next generation?

Patient's question:

My wife is 29 years old this year, and she just found out she is pregnant after a thorough examination. When she had the examination before, the doctor told me that my wife has hepatitis B (minor positive). I heard that this disease can be infectious, and I'm a bit worried about the child. I want to know if this minor positive hepatitis B can be passed down to the next generation?

Doctor's answer:

Hepatitis B minor positive is primarily a disease caused by high-risk sexual behavior contact and transmission. Theoretically, if pregnancy is detected just after careful examination, it is necessary to address the issue through the following aspects: First, regular ultrasound examinations of the uterine appendages; Second, taking folic acid during the first three months of pregnancy; By the time of late pregnancy and the time of delivery, the mother should be given anesthesia antibodies and vaccines. As soon as the child is born, anesthesia, vaccines, and antibodies should be administered to cut off transmission.
