Hep B Vaccine

[khambaas]

I am diagnosed with chronic Hep B and on Truvada for more than 5 years now. The disease is under control and virus is almost undetectable.

I am going on business trip to a country where Hep B vaccine is a  requirement for the visa. Can I take Hep B vaccine? Will it cause me any harm? Will vaccine interact with Truvada and have any side effect?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thnaks.

the vaccine will however have no effect on you and you will not generate an antibody response. It is hard to imagine how a country that requires hbv vaccination will not ask for a surface antigen test.

I am not a doctor. In my opinion, taking the Hep B vaccine will not cause you any harm as the Hep B vaccine consists of HBsAg only.
