Summary

This study tested whether a double-dose hepatitis B vaccine (40 micrograms) works better than the standard dose (20 micrograms) in people with HIV who had not responded to previous hepatitis B vaccines. The trial included 178 participants and measured how many developed protective antibodies one month after the final shot. The goal is to find a better way to protect HIV patients from severe liver disease caused by hepatitis B.
