Yes. They give you antibiotics in the IV when you deliver. That is to prevent the baby gets the virus. Usually they do not treat you now, because it doesn't affect you in anyway.

I had group B strep w/ my first son, since then they gave me IV antibiotics w/ the 2nd & he told me today he will do it again in a couple weeks when he induces me w/ my 3rd. He says since I already tested positive it's the safest measure. It started at the duration of the labor process that way the baby was protected. When I had my 1st son, I ran such a high fever during, they doped me up w/ cool saline & tyenol. Then kept the antibiotics going for 3 days afterward. Luckily, no problems w/ the 2nd. Hope the same this time.
Good luck & god bless.
Congrats

My understanding is that when you go into labor they will give you antibiotics that will protect the baby from getting Strep.
