PLEASE HELP HEP B SCARE
My doctor emailed me saying that my titer was low. I got a HEP B BOOSTER SHOT LAST MONTH. She said she ordered blood work to see if my "LEVELS came up". What does this mean ? Do I have HEP B or at risk ? Please help I'm very concerned especially because I had unprotected sex with my partner past 3 days. He is uninfected. Please help!!!
If he is uninfected then you are not at risk....

But what does this mean for me, does this mean that I could have it or could had have it before I even knew my partner? What does the low titer thing mean ?
Have you been vaccinated?... If you have had vaccination and your Dr is saying your titers are low then he probably means under 10 which does not mean you are infected it just means your protective antibodies are low... That is why they have given you a booster to get them back up....
If you were infected with hep b then the vaccination or booster shot would not be effective..... Speak to your Dr if you are concerned but from what you have wrote I just think your antibodies have reduced or you never made enough in the first place that's why Dr is suggestion a booster
Yes I have been vaccinated before all 3 set of doses..... Thank you very much for answering my questions/concerns.
