Recently had blood work before starting truvada and my hep b surf ab was < 10 (not immune) even though i was vaccinated as a child. why is this?

Can happen: Although rare. Your either lose immunity overtime, or your body didn't respond to the vaccination series to start with. You may ask your doctor for a repeat series of hep b vaccine, good luck
