I have been HBsAg positive. I had a blood test on December 12, and it was still positive. My wife is currently pregnant, but her blood test result is negative for HBsAg. Is there any danger to her or the baby? Please let me know.

Since your wife is HBsAg negative and presumably vaccinated, the risk is low. The baby will need the hepatitis B vaccine and immunoglobulin at birth. Inform your gynaecologist.

Take a HBV Dna Test Test or Take a AUSTRALIAN ANTIGEN (HBSAG) TEST Test
