In highly viraemic pregnant women with chronic hepatitis B (CHB), stopping peripartum prophylaxis (PP) with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) immediately after delivery does not increase the risk of relapse or retreatment vs TDF cessation at ≥4 weeks postpartum. Early withdrawal of PP-TDF, combined with standard neonatal immunization schemes, is 100 percent effective in preventing mother-to-child transmission (MTCT).
