Is my vaccinated baby of 2 months still at risk.

[Mario30]

Am hepatitis B positive. With negative e-antigen and virus dna load of 2369.

My wife is hbsab positive due to vaccination since 2009. We just have a baby boy.

My baby was given a shot of vaccination at birth.

Qs.
  
1.Is it safe for me to make unprotected sex with her, why she is still breastfeeding ?

2. Is my baby at risk ?

I really need your candy advice. Thanks.

Thanks twinboys. He was given only the first hbv vaccination at birth. What do you mean by 3 full vaccination.

He, like your wife, need 3 vaccines for full protection.  For your son, at birth, 2 months, 6 months.  Then, around 9 months test hbsab.

[twinboys1girl4me]

If your wife has positive hbsab then you can have unprotected sex.  This antibody can drop down below level of protection (happened to my family), so making sure she had that positive titer after vaccine is key.

Did your baby get the HBIG and first HBV vaccine in the hospital?  This is common practice when a baby is born to a HbsAg positive mother, but not sure if this is the case with a positive close household family member.  

He should have at least been given his first HBV vaccine in the hospital.  For him, I would make sure he gets the full 3 vaccines and then test for positive antibodies, just to make sure as he grows he is fully protected.  

You would not be a risk to your baby, unless he potentially came into contact with your blood and an he had an open wound.  This is a situation that obviously would be rare.  

Congrats on your new baby boy!
