Question
My sister-in-law was infected with the hepatitis B virus during her college years and is now a carrier. Will she transmit the virus to her fetus during pregnancy?
Answer
Hepatitis B virus carriers are infectious, with transmission routes including blood, mother-to-child, and sexual contact. Daily life does not lead to transmission. The best preventive measure is to get vaccinated against hepatitis B. It is recommended to undergo a hepatitis B five-item test. If you have not been infected and do not have antibodies, you should get vaccinated against hepatitis B immediately.
