A member asked:
My friend told me that hepatitis vaccine is made from human plasma and it can carry hiv if the person has hiv in his plasma correct?

Not true: Your friend is wrong. The earliest versions of hepaatitis B vaccine (40 years ago) were made from human plasma, but that has not been true for a very long time. The vaccine definitely does not carry HIV. Don't worry about it.
