Chronic Antibody "Borerline" - Should one be concerned?
My Anti-HBs Hepatitis B Antibody has been "borderline" for over a year now, even after additional vaccination (booster shots I suppose). Should I be concerned?
I heard the Hep B virus can mutate, is it true? While my Antigen (HBs Ag) has been negative, I have some Hepatitis symptoms which is a cause of concern.
My doctor just tells me to come back and vaccinate some more, is that the right approach? Please advise thanks!!!

I had another test around March, this time the Hep B Antibody finally showed up. My doctor tells me fatigue might have something to do with it, and she is relieved. (so am I !)
She gave me another booster shoot just in case. We will see when the next checkup comes.

The anti-body report doesn't provide a specific number... I suppose it's below 11 or 12...
Apparently I was probably infected at birth, and we didn't have the prevention shot until the late 70's...
