A member asked:
Can you have sex with a hepatitis b patient after you have been vaccinated?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: The vaccine should protect you from infection. However, not everyone develops immunity after completing the vaccine series. You can find out whether you're immune by getting a hepatitis b surface antibody (hbsab) checked. It should be positive.

Theoretically yes: I would make sure that your vaccination worked i.e. Check hepatitis b titers before doing so however. Ask your physician about this.
