Hello, I would suggest you get vaccinated for hepatitis B if you havent been vaccinated already. Check ant HBs antibody levels one to 2 months after vaccination to ensure that bacinnation has been effective.
The chances that your wife will be negative are less than one percent.
Please monitor SGOT and SGPT levels every six monthly and if raised consider treatment. Please consult a has grown retook gist.
Hope this helps
