Lets discuss and share some things all should know about the hepatitis B Virus.


Hepatitis B and Pregnancy


If you’re pregnant, you might pass the virus to your baby at birth. It’s less likely to happen during your pregnancy.

If your baby gets the virus and isn’t treated, he could have long-term liver problems. All newborns with infected mothers should get hepatitis B immune globulin and the vaccine for hepatitis at birth and during their first year of life.

How Is It Prevented?

To help keep a hepatitis B infection from spreading:

1. Get vaccinated (if you haven’t already been infected).
2. Use condoms every time you have sex.
3. Wear gloves when you clean up after others, especially if you have to touch bandages, tampons, and linens.
4. Cover all open cuts or wounds.
5. Don’t share razors, toothbrushes, nail care tools, or pierced earrings with anyone.
6. Don’t share chewing gum or pre-chew food for a baby.
