Can boys who carry the hepatitis B virus pass it on?

In fact, it is very common to carry the hepatitis B virus, and this situation does not have much impact on our physical health. However, many friends are very worried when preparing for pregnancy. Will the hepatitis B virus have some impact on the fetus or cause inheritance? In fact, experts tell everyone that boys carrying the hepatitis B virus will not cause the child to inherit this situation.

It is currently believed that the hepatitis B virus has nothing to do with heredity. It is mainly transmitted in three ways: blood transmission, sexual contact transmission, and vertical transmission from mother to child. Therefore, to be precise, the hepatitis B virus can be transmitted vertically from mother to child to the next generation, and corresponding blocking measures need to be taken, but this method is obviously not hereditary.

Is the hepatitis B virus passed from the father to the child? Authoritative experts believe that, strictly speaking, hepatitis B is not hereditary. Hepatitis B in children is usually transmitted from mother to child. Generally speaking, if the father of a child has hepatitis B, he may usually transmit the virus to the mother through semen, saliva, etc. The mother of the child then transmits the hepatitis B virus to the baby through the placenta, birth canal, breast milk and close contact after birth, thus causing the baby to be infected with the hepatitis B virus. This is usually called hereditary hepatitis B. Hepatitis B is not a hereditary disease and there is no problem of inheritance.

If a married man has hepatitis B, he must seek medical treatment as soon as possible. If the woman is infected with the virus by accident during the period of hepatitis B, she should pay attention to contraception. Don't panic if you get pregnant. You can prevent the hepatitis B virus from infecting the fetus by blocking the inheritance of hepatitis B. The specific methods are as follows:

1. Newborns should be injected with 200 IU of hepatitis B immunoglobulin within 24 hours and half a month after birth;

2. Inject hepatitis B vaccine within 24 hours after birth, 1 month, and 6 months.

3. The sooner you get the first shot of hepatitis B vaccine and hepatitis B immunoglobulin, the better. This will prevent infection.

Experts remind: Hepatitis B is an inadvertent genetic disease that cannot be passed from father to child. Once a father is accidentally infected with hepatitis B, he should first go to an authoritative hospital to consult a professional doctor and see a doctor. Only consider having children after the hepatitis B disease is cured.
