Hepatitis B Antibody Titer Testing
Periodic serological testing to evaluate anti-HBs antibody levels and determine whether protective immunity has been achieved despite incomplete vaccine response.
Hepatitis B Immune Globulin
Emergency passive immunization with HBIG following known or suspected exposure to Hepatitis B virus, providing immediate antibody protection until active immunity can be assessed.
Additional treatment options
Accelerated Revaccination Protocol
Additional Hepatitis B vaccine doses administered on an accelerated schedule with higher antigen content to attempt achieving protective antibody levels in partial responders.
procedureHepatitis B Exposure Risk Reduction
Lifestyle modifications including safe sexual practices, avoiding sharing of personal items like razors, and ensuring proper sterilization of medical equipment to minimize transmission risk.
