[|AI|]  Hi Mr Anil, Where are you writing from? I am so sorry to hear about your diagnosis. But your doctor is absolutely right. Unlike hepatitis C, in hepatitis B, there is no need to take treatment if your liver function is normal and if your viral load is low. You will need additional tests to look for other markers of infection and to see if you are infective to others (Hepatitis B PCR, Antics ab, Anti HBC ab, Anti He Ab, and also for hepatitis C). Based on this we can categorize you as a carrier or as someone who has cleared the virus. Most people will clear the virus by themselves without any treatment. Only a minority become chronic carriers and only a minority in them will develop cirrhosis at a later stage. Hepatitis B only needs treatment if the viral load is very high or if the liver is being damaged as evident from blood tests. In the meantime, I would advise you to take precautions against spreading the virus (avoid contact with body fluids). I hope this helped, and I hope you feel better soon. Please do not hesitate to contact me for further details - rxxsuresh@gmail.com
