She had a test on hbsag and the result is negative, so i advised her to have vaccine 1st vaccine Dec.2010, 2nd vaccine  Jan.2011 and her upcoming vaccination will be on june 2011. Can i infect my wife if we have sex between months of feb or march.???? Doctor: HiThank you for asking HCMI 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.
