A member asked:

Is there a number one doctor-recommended protection against hbv?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Vaccination: Completing the 3 shot vaccination series provides the best protection, protecting 96% of people receiving the vaccine. Not sharing blood (via injection drug use or shared razors) and using condoms with sex will also reduce the risk.

Today, my dad was told by a doctor that he's a hepatitis B carrier. Previously, we all were told by multiple docs that he just had immunity to it. Don't have detailed blood test results yet. Do we need a second opinion? Should we all get tested?
