hi all

i am 31 years old , i had a hepb vaccine 15 years ago, last week i did the test Hepb s ab(for the antibodies) and the result was 25,4 positive >10 miu/ml
does that mean i am immune to the virus?should i follow another dose?i ve read that if there are antibodies over 10 miu/ml there is no reason to do anything
thank you in advance, very good work you do for our health
bye

well you are absolutely right, i ve already been exposed to hpv(genital warts) and i have to go again for the second time to the doctor in order to remove them.Though i am a regural customer of CSW, i think i contracted hpv from unprotected sex with women i was dating last year.As soon as i found out, i did hiv tests and the hepb s ab test to be sure that i am clean.The truth is that unless it happens to you, you never believe that it can actually happen but yes STDs like hpv are VERY easy to catch and as far as i ve heard HepB is too.
take care,
getaway

25 is considered immune.  But there are many more than HBV you are exposing yourself to with your lifestyle.

should i follow another dose?

--Is your life style or profession risky in terms of exposure to HBV?
