Hi thanks for asking question...
Let me know you hepatitis b antigen can be spread by sexual route ..
So your brother wife can get acquire infection by sexual intercaurse....
Use condom or barrier method to prevent its spread.
Blood and secretions having this virus.
So avoid contamination of things by secretions.
Items contaminated by secretion wash by diluted bleach....
If your brother have woung it is dressed properly....
Your brothers wife and you must be vaccinated ...
Regular check up of both you for hepatitis b done....
Take care....
