Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. There are chances to spread hepatitis infection to your wife through unprotected sex if you are positive. This can be avoided by taking full course Hepatitis B vaccine. Till she complete the vaccination better to have sex by protected way. That is by using condoms.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
