 No I do believe the vaccine prevented you from acquiring infection. The vaccine is very effective. It has been shown to be partially protective even with one or two shots and you are the proof of that. Continue to have protected sex since we do not have vaccines yet for HIV and HCV, but hopefully one day we will. | ||||||||
