Hi thanks for contacting health care magic...

Noted you have HBSag positive Case.
If it remain positive after 6 month then you could be carrier case or chronic case....

Certain precautions has to be taken for preventing transmitting infection to your husband....

Your husband should be vaccinated with full three dose of hepatitis b vaccine....
Use condom while sex....

Avoid sharing objects with him like toothbrush ....
Try to avoid contact of your husband with secretions of yours.

Utensil contaminated with your secretion cleaned by bleach solution....

When pregnant HBeag positivity checked ..
If it is positive then chance of transmission is very high like 60 to 70%...
If it is negative chance less then 10%...

Anyway to preventing infection by child birth after delivery immediately hepatitis b immunoglobulin and subsequent vaccine given....

With keeping these in mind consult doc for proper examination...

Hope your query solved.

Take care.
