Question
Can a male with Hepatitis B surface antigen+ marry and have children, and will he transmit the infection to his spouse or child?
Answer
Pregnant women are recommended to receive the Hepatitis B high-titer immune globulin within the first three months of pregnancy. Newborns should receive the first dose of the Hepatitis B high-titer immune globulin within six hours of birth and the Hepatitis B vaccine at 30 micrograms within 24 hours. Subsequently, both the Hepatitis B high-titer immune globulin and the Hepatitis B vaccine at 30 micrograms should be administered simultaneously in the second and third months. This usually maximizes protection against transmission to the child. It is advised that you provide more details about your situation for more precise guidance.
