Reactive Hep B core but not Immune to Hep B.

[butterwrapper]

Hep B core is REACTIVE
Hep B surface AG Non reactive
Hep B Surface AB is Negative


Two questions:

1)  Why didn't this person acquire Immunity naturally if they were exposed to Hepatitis B in the past.

2)  Since they are considered non-immune, would you recommend vaccinating them now?

Thank you.

Hi Butter, I sure don't know enough about it to answer...
Hope you don't mind but I wanted to ask NY how things where progressing & the thread below was full...

NY, the thread was full & I didn't want to intrude on butters thread earlier, so I kind of waited till after 5 eatern time so I could see if you found out anything else..???

You're NOT being clear at that 12 week mile marker REALLY Worries me... again the similarity's as we seem to be running paralell... so I was just concerned... Any news yet..???
:(

I did biology in high school, I remember my teacher told us that there are two kinds of antibodies, one that comes and go, and the other one stays in your blood for your whole life. That's why you see some people get measle twice or more in their life, or getting more than one serious flu during winter, that's because the antibodies just come and go.

I not sure getting vaccine will still in this case, you better ask that person to consult his/her family doctor about it.
