If you have anti-hbs (above >10 iu/l) and then are exposed to hep b, will HBcAb turn positive?

Stef, I checked my HBsAb 4 months ago which was 25.51 iu/l. This immunity was given from Twinrix 9 years ago. So you mean my immunity is not 100%?

1. What is the ideal testing time for Hep B and Hep D after exposure.

after 6-12 months since 98% of adults clear hbv by immune system (flu and colds are more dangerous).it is only at birth that you get chronic hbv from the mother because the baby has no immune system

2. Does hep B vaccine protect us %100?

no the vaccine on the market is outdated, the response is much lower than 100%, only the israel vaccine scivac has a very high protective percentage

3. Does hep B vaccine protect us from hep D?

hep D is a parasite of hbv, it does not exsist on its own

end of story it is good to get vaccine and HBIG immediately but on adults it ll be cleared anyway by immune system
