Question

What impact does the father’s Hepatitis B surface antigen+ have on the child?

Answer

A father with Hepatitis B surface antigen+ may transmit the virus to the partner through sexual contact. If the partner does not have Hepatitis B antibodies, there is a risk of transmitting the virus to the child during pregnancy. Therefore, if the partner does not have Hepatitis B antibodies before marriage, it is recommended to get vaccinated against Hepatitis B early, develop sufficient antibodies, and then consider marriage and childbirth to reduce the risk of the child contracting Hepatitis B.
