Help me pls, I am a Mom recently diagnosed with Hep B


I am working mom, and a dedicated wife and wanted to get our family protected against HepB that's why I signed up all 3 of us (me, my husband and 4 year old) to get the vaccine. As a pre-requisite for vaccination, we all underwent the HBSAG test, mu husband and son came out non-reactive. I came out reactive. I had a re-test with the same heart-breaking result. I have never had any sexual partner but my husband as he is my first and only. How could I have gotten this? Clearly the time line when I got the virus was after I gave birth to my son because he is non-reactive (thank God). Once my family get the vaccine, will they be protected from getting it from me? As for me and my husband, can we no longer be intimate or have the 2nd baby we're planning on? I am confused, heartbroken and shaken. Pls Help.

Do let us know when you get reports of your HBsAb, HBeAb, HBeAg, IgM anti-HBc, ALT, HBV DNA viral load. All these are simple blood tests, so not much to worry about. Maybe later on, you need to do some more tests.
