My partner has chronic hepatitis B. If i take vaccine is it safe to make love after marrying him?

so this vaccine, after 3 shots. Would i be protected for life?

Yes, you should be protected from the virus if you have the three shot series at the correct intervals - but I would recommend having a titer drawn after you finish the series to make sure you are immune. If not, usually one additional vaccine will cause you to sero-convert and you should have enough antibodies to help you fight the exposure.

*Edit: the answerer below me suggested that the immunity only lasts about 10 years. I had mine 15 years ago (I'm in healthcare) and had a titer drawn last year when I started a new job. The titer still showed high immunity. I also checked the link that person gave and it basically said immunity should last MORE than 10 years if you have a healthy immune system.

Immunity from the Hepatitis B vaccine only lasts about 10 years. So checking the titer to see if you have enough immunity after that time would be a good idea.
