Is it too late to do Hep B shots?

[flying_saucer]

Hi guys,

I got HBV when I was 1 yo, now I'm almost 26, I was never really checked for Hep B or treated for it, and I didn't know there's a risk of being a carrier. My HbSag was not detected last year ( I had a routine sexual health check), and I did a test several weeks ago, the results being:


Hep BsAg - Non reactive
Hep BsAb - 747 IU/L
Hep BcAb Total - Reactive

I'm now waiting for the HBV DNA test, as my GP said I could still be contagious, but what I'm worrying most is I could infect my partner, thou I still don't know my carrier status I would like to ask is it too late for my partner to get shots? We always had protected sex, but there was exposure to semen, saliva and sweat, probable exposure took place around 5-6 weeks ago, is it too late or my partner still has time to vaccinate?

Thank you

my ultrasound of the liver is normal, though ALT is slightly high (48 with the highest 45), cholesterol is 6.1 and albumen is higher than normal. But I've got pains and heavy feelings in the right rib liver area (together with slight nausea and bitter taste in the mouth), so was worrying I can still have active hepatitis.... As I said the US is normal, so maybe that feeling is coming from gallbladder polyps and reflux I have.... I also was put on Roaccutane but quitted after 11 days as I experienced that pain in the liver area and felt really sick..

yeah, that's what I was told at the sexual health clinic, but my GP told me I still can have virus replication and be contagious because I had Reactive BcAb Total

it seems you have cleared hbv and are now immune...
