| Response from Dr. McGovern
 If the male partner is HBV infected, and the female partner has been vaccinated, she should be protected against infection. However, to be sure, I would certainly check a hepatitis B surface antibody to be sure the vaccine has produced protective antibodies in her. I am not aware of any information regarding the question you ask. | ||||||||
