CORE-HIV: Comparative Efficacy of an Intensified Re-vaccination Scheme for Hepatitis B Virus Infection Among Patients Infected With HIV .
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Hepatitis B virus infection is a common occurrence among patients with HIV. Effective vaccines are available, but there's some uncertainty regarding specific dosages, specially among those who have not responded to an initial vaccination. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a simplified immunization schedule compared to a high-dose one.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Serologic Response [4-8 weeks After Exposure]
Number of participants with positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) antibodies 4 to 8 weeks after completion of the vaccination schemes.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Local Reactions to Vaccine [One Week after Exposure]
Number of participants presenting dermatologic reactions to the vaccine up to one week after exposure.
- Systemic Reactions to the Vaccine [One Week after Exposure]
Number of participants presenting any systemic adverse reaction attributable to vaccination.
