Question
Are genetically infected with hepatitis B patients contagious?
Answer
Hepatitis B is not genetic and cannot be passed on to the next generation, but it can be transmitted to children through the mother-to-child route or other means. Men who are infected with hepatitis B may have a small chance of transmitting the virus to their offspring, especially if they have a low viral load . It is recommended to give hepatitis B immune globulin and a double dose of vaccine immediately after birth to maximize the blocking of transmission. The specific doses and timing of vaccinations should be determined by local doctors.python
