Hep B vaccination on sustiva/truvada
Mar 29, 2009

I started sustiva truvada 6 weeks ago with cd4 320, vl 22000. Is it safe to get a hepatitis B vaccine? I'm reading that immunizations increase viral load and I'm aiming at being undetectable in several months. I don't want to risk resistance and treatment failure because of this immunization but my doctor says it's safe and no need to wait until my viral load gets down below 50.

Response from Dr. Holodniy

I agree with your doctor. I wouldn't wait to get the immunization.
