Testing........

Good day.......currently i m waiting my test result for my hep B antibody. The last 10months, i had tested my antibody and it said reactive means immunity to hep B. But some of my friends say i need to test again and dose it if my immunity below than average range. And also the immunity can decrease if i am contacting with the virus for many time. I m so worried coz one of my closely friend who have Hep B.
Here is my question....
if my antibody is lower than reactive limit what should i do?
do i need to test again Hep B antigen again or dose the vaccine again?
thx for your time
god bless you

You should test for Hbv titer   to see the anybody B in your blood if its low and you already have your 3 shot vaccination you should have now (booster shot) if not you have to be vaccinated and to check every 5 years >
