The Perinatal Hepatitis B Prevention Program was established in 1991 to prevent hepatitis B transmission from pregnant women to their infants and household and sexual contacts.
Prevention of perinatal hepatitis B transmission requires the coordinated transfer of information between prenatal care providers, laboratories, hospitals, primary care providers and the local/state health departments.
Perinatal Hepatitis B Prevention Program (PHBPP)
The Perinatal Hepatitis B Prevention Program is to identify hepatitis B surface antigen-positive (HBsAg-positive) persons prenatally or at delivery for each pregnancy so that their infants, household, and sexual contacts can be tested and treated to prevent the spread of the hepatitis B virus (HBV).
Your Role in the PHBPP
Your roles in the Perinatal Hepatitis B Prevention Program are working in a laboratory, prenatal care, hospital, pediatric care and health care.

Printable version of this information
If you have tested positive for hepatitis B, it is important to know how to best care for yourself and what steps you can take to protect others from getting the hepatitis B virus (HBV). The Perinatal Hepatitis B Prevention Program (PHBPP) will help guide you through how to care for yourself and how to protect your baby, partner and household members.
Hepatitis B is a virus that attacks your liver. It is spread through infected blood and body fluids. You cannot get hepatitis B through holding hands, sneezing, coughing, hugging, or kissing.
How to contact the PHBPP
If you have any questions or would like more information, contact us at 517-335-1323, 517-388-4815, or 517-897-3236.
