Protocol summary

Summary
Limited studies were carried out on effective strategy of HBV vaccination in HIV positive patients but still appropriate method was not determined. Due to importance of this issue and lack of consensus on a unique schedule on HBV vaccination of HIV positive patients, we performed this study to asses two modified HBV vaccination Schedule in HIV positive patients.150 HIV cases will be enrolled in the study and randomly divided into 3 groups. In 50 cases vaccination with double dose of HB vaccine (40 μg) in 4 times (0,1,2,6 months) intramuscularly, in 50 cases low dose intradermal (4 μg) in 4 times (0,1,2,6 months) and in 50 subjects routine vaccination (20 μg) in 3 times (0,1,6 months) intramuscularly would be administered. One month after last dose of vaccine, anti-HBs titre will be assessed and 3 groups will be compared. In non-responder cases of intradermal group, 2 additional doses of intradermal vaccine would be administered with 2 weeks interval and 1 month after the last dose, anti-HBs titre will be assessed. 4 months after the last dose of HBV vaccine, 3 groups will be compared regarding the persistence of anti-HBs titres.
