Brief Summary:

In HIV infected patients, individuals exposed to the virus of Hepatitis B are more susceptible to develop a chronic and severe liver disease with a major risk of cirrhosis and liver cancer.

However, the existing protocol of vaccination against Hepatitis B is less efficient in HIV-infected patients than in non HIV-infected-patients, and, in case of response, its longevity has to be followed up carefully. This study compares the efficacy of the standard protocol vaccination with GenHevac-B and 2 other protocols, a double-dose of GenHevac-B and a set of intradermal injections of Genhevac-B, in HIV-infected patients with lymphocytes T CD4 level above 200 permm3.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. HIV-infected patients who seroconvert in the first two months after the last vaccination. Seroconversion is defined as antibodies AbHBs titers equal or above 10 mUI per ml. [ Time Frame: two months after the last injection;week 28, month 18, month 30 and month 42 ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. According to the vaccine administration (IM or ID) comparison of AbHBs titers,permanence of the humoral response,intensity of clinical and biological events and predicting factors related to seroconversion [ Time Frame: two months after the last injection; week 28, month 18, month 30 and month 42 ]
