If you have a positive HBsAg test persisting since 2005, then you have chronic hepatitis B, not acute. This means the virus continues to be in your liver and is causing damage. There is a treatment for chronic hepatitis B. If it is not treated, it can eventually turn into cirrhosis and liver failure over several years. I recommend you consult with a liver specialist (gastroenterologist or hepatologist) and get this evaluated. If your tests confirm chronic hepatitis B, the specialist will know what treatment would be best for you. Hope this helps.
