HBV is in blood and it is also found in semen, vaginal fluids and menstrual blood. All types of sex (oral, anal, vaginal sex) can transmit HBV.
way to protect you and oth- ers from getting HBV. Other ways to prevent sexual trans- mission of HBV is to use con- doms or rubbers for oral sex on men as well as for vaginal or anal sex. Change con- doms between anal, vaginal and oral sex

There is about a 90% (9 out of 10) chance that a baby born to a mother who is infected with the hepatitis B virus (HBV for short) will get chronic or long-term HBV infection. Once a baby has developed chronic HBV infection there is a real chance that it could lead to serious health problems in the future.
If the HBV vaccine and HBV immune globulin (shots to help the body fight off and protect against HBV infection) are given within 12 hours of birth this reduces the chance of the baby getting HBV from 90% to 10%.
It Is Important to Remember:
• Every pregnant women should be tested for HBV – but make sure to ask for the test in case your doctor forgets to test you
• A baby born to a mother with chronic hepatitis B should be given HBV immune globulin and the hepatitis B vaccine within 12 hours after birth
• The second shot of vaccine is usually given 1 month after the first shot
• The third shot of vaccine is usually given about 2 to 4 months later
• The good news is that HBV is not transmitted through breast feeding

You should check yourself for hbv and get vaccinated, foy you it is not a real problem anyway even if you get infected because most of the adults clear hbv by themselves. For the baby the doctors know what to do, they will give the baby vaccina shot and it should be ok, for her if she is chronic, that is likely the case there is tretment that will keep her well and new treatmets are comming that promis to heal hbv in the future. Tell doctors about her hbv asap they know what to do. It is not that big problem as it seems when you start hanndling it.
