All my liver tests have been normal to this point. I am on Ziagen, 3TC, and D4T and have been undetectable for over 6 months on this combo and cd4s were 720 at last count. Now that I've tested positive for Hep D I'm worried. I don't ever remember having symptoms of Hep B. Scott Dear Scott, Testing positive for antibodies to hep B and delta hepatitis is a lot different than testing positive for the viruses. These are not like HIV and if you have certain kinds of antibodies you are immune and not infected.
Delta can be measure by antigen or antibody.
If you have the antibody you are immune. If you have the antigen you have the virus. On the other hand if you do have hep B the ziagen and the 3TC will be suppressing it and therefore the delta would be suppressed too. If you do have hep B you should have an ultrasound of the liver and an alfa feto protein yearly to check for liver cancer.
