Antiviral prophylaxis among pregnant women and adolescent girls. In settings where HBV DNA or HBeAg testing is available, prophylaxis with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is recommended for all HBV-positive (HBsAg-positive) pregnant women with HBV DNA ≥200 000 IU/mL or positive HBeAg (preferably from the second trimester of pregnancy until at least delivery or completion of the infant HBV vaccination series), to prevent the mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of HBV.
