Good morning
sorry to hear about your illhealth
The chance of HBSAG to become negative is around 1% per year in people like you
But i am not at all worried even it remains positive for decades with other test results like this
you are in very much inactive carrier status and there is no major risk of transmission to others also
Hepatitis B virus at this stage also is very unlikely to cause any liver damage

I would suggest yearly repetition of all these tests which you mentioned along with AFP blood test. LFT needs to be repeated every six months

Hope this will answer your question
Wish u a speedy recovery
