Yes. It can spread through unprotected sex. Please check if your wife had taken the proper doses if the vaccine in the past. It is routinely given to children since pat many years. In that case she will be lucky to have protection against the virus. Check her antibody level in the blood ig vaccinated in the past. If found low. Give one booster dose. If not vaccinated in the past. Give 3 doses of anti hepatitis b vaccine over 6 months (at 0.30. 180 days as vaccine day) after testing her blood for hb s ag. And anti hb e antibody. Adopt strict use of condoms during penetrating sexual acts. Avoid wet kissing as the saliva may also carry the virus. Into her body. Gey yourself treated if the virus remains active in your body even after 6 months through serial checks of hbsag. If you are one of those lucky ones. The virus may just stop showibg up. Else you consult a physician / gastro-enterologist for treatment to check the virus. Don't plan for a child now until your physician gives you clearance.
