A member asked:
Can a hepatitis b virus affected woman give birth to a child who will not have it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Those who acquired the germ before pregnancy can still pass it on to their newborn.However, infant vaccination at birth with simultaneous administration of Hepatitis B Immune Globulin can often prevent transfer of the germ during the birth process. Consult with your OB and the pediatrician involved so the material will be available at delivery.
