Hi Dear
Welcome to the HCM.
Hbs AG positive means you are infected with Hepatitis B virus.
Baby required to be given Hepatitis B immunoglobulin injections easily available with the pharmacist along with the consultation of your pediatrician for your baby.
Mother should consult the gastroentrologist. He will further investigate her for the status of the virus with viral makers, DNA markers etc and accordingly she may be given antiviral drugs and interferon depending upon the stage.
Hope the query is answered.
