A member asked:

Please tell me, could hepatitis b positive women have children?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Many do: It was once common for women in many polynesian cultures to pass the germ from mother to child at birth. The advent of Hepatitis B Immune Globulin treatment at birth with simultaneous administration of the vaccine has dropped the frequency of this outcome. Your obstetrician can sort out the risks involved for mother and child and help someone have a good outcome.
