Hello,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query.
If she is positive for HbsAg, never do unprotected intercourse.
Hepatitis B is notorious for transmission via sex. It transmits more frequently than that of HIV. Avoid unprotected intercourse.
Take the right treatment other wise there is chance of chronicity.
