tenofovir before delivery is a must plus vaccine, probably extremely few doctors/hospitals double check for occult hbv or know the markers of occult hbv
A little background, I am a carrier, did not have treatment during pregnancy, HBV DNA was 6 log, both anti HBe and HbeAg were positve. My new born received 1 dose of HBIG within 2 hours after birth, 1st dose of vaccine, followed by 2nd dose of vaccine at 1 month, 3rd dose at 2 months, 4th dose at 6th month and 5th dose at 12th month.
I took him for blood test and the result came back hbsag negative, hbsab over 1000 iu/ml.
My question is, is my baby now free from Hep B?
The test was taken when he is 21 months old, 11 months after the last dose
Yes the new born is fine.
