What Is The Treatment For The HBs AG Positive?

Hello I am HBs ag positive and it is positive since 1997. I did HBV dna one month ago and it was 16000/nl. I am afraid as the doctor said I need to do liver biopsi. I am also afraid to tell it to my boy friend since I dont know how he will react on it.What can I do now? I did not do any sexual interaction with my boy friend yet and I dont know if he is vaccinated or not?

Hi thanks for contacting HCM...

Noted you have HBSag positive since 1997.

You have to inform your boyfriend about it because HBSag can spread through blood and secretions and by sexual route , so if he is informed he can be prevented from acquiring infection by vaccination and taking care for preventing infection..

Here doctor want biopsy to rule out hepatic condition wether changes of chronic active hepatitis , fibrosis , grading etc and accordingly to decide treatment.
If HBeag with elevated enzymes antiviral might given...

Use condom while sex to prevent infection to him..
Avoid toothbrush and other object sharing that can spread infection to him...

Try to take low fat diet and more green leafy vegetables....

Avoid alcohol if habit....

Regular follow up done...

Hope your concern solved.
