Summary

This study tested three different ways to vaccinate people with HIV against hepatitis B, a virus that can cause serious liver damage. The standard vaccine often doesn't work as well in HIV patients, so researchers compared a double dose and skin injections to the usual method. The goal was to see which approach helped more patients develop protective antibodies.
