Vaccinations
Vaccinations are available to protect you from getting infected with hepatitis A and hepatitis B and if you are HIV-positive you are advised to receive these vaccinations as soon as possible. They are safe and effective in people with HIV and available free of charge at your HIV clinic, a sexual health clinic, or from most GPs.
Both vaccinations consist of a course of injections – two for hepatitis A and three or four for hepatitis B – which are given over a number of months. For the vaccine to be effective, it is very important for you to have all the injections. Regular tests should be performed to see if you need a booster vaccine to continue your protection.
There is no vaccine against hepatitis C.
A small number of people are immune to hepatitis A and B due to earlier infection and you will have tests to see if you are immune before any vaccination is given.
