Of course there is treatment for hepatitis B. Firs of all you need to check if you have hepatitis( ongoing liver damage) or if you are a healthy carrier( hepatitis b positive and no liver damage). If you are a healthy carrier then you do not need treatment. But if you have chronic hepatitis then you definitely need treatment
