once infected by hbv you will always be contagious but at different degree

hbv cleared, hbsag negative, blood donations and organ donations transmit hbv, sex and small wounds are not contagious
hbsag pos and hbvdna undetactable, contagious by blood and sex
hbsag pos and hbvdna detactable low, contagious by blood and sex
hbsag pos and hbvdna high/very high in billions, very contagious by blood and sex and possible by saliva/deep kisses

i am a hepa B healthy carrier

there is no such definition of hbv from a doctor, you can have hbv infection without liver damage and monitor continuously because it is a state that can be all life or just a moment

also consider that liver damage can be monitored only by fibroscan very frequently otherwise biopsy is the only other option but yearly biopsies is not good so you could make biopsy every 3 years until fibroscan available.there is no other tool to check liver damage

from now im still on going taking medicine

it is not good to take antivirals at your age, they are useless since liver damage is almost zero until about 35yo, only immune modulators like interferon are ok

also consider that in some contries there are no tools to monitor liver damage every 6 months so drug makers and doctors give antivirals to all, thisi is very bad because they don t cure hbv infection but only regress liver damage...so in the end they just steel money.what antivirals are you taking?the only way to stop antivirals is taking interferon since responders can reduce hbv quantity and safely stop antivirals

are you heppa b courier like me

yes from birth and now at 40yo i am regressing from cirrhosis.the liver stays healthy until about 35yo on most after this age a percentage of carriers develops cirrhosis or liver cancer so it is very important to fight hbv all life and prevent development of these deadly illnesses like cirrhois and liver cancer when you are old.

kuya1746

alcool can make same damage as hepatitis and though not everyday is ok for those without hbv for the carriers it might be different and you'd bettert avoid it like poison otherwise the risk of ending with cirrhosis/liver cancer is higher when as you get older

only if your liver is perfectly healthy some beers might be ok but drinking alcool is not a must you can choose not to drink any

it's better to not to take marijuana..
of course, you should not even bother to think or ask

im stress

i am stressed to but i try to lessen by sun exposure (it is known to boost vitamin d and to lessen stress and even depression) or swimming helps to releave stress too (hopefully having free swimmingpoll or sea close)

marijuana..seems to help when you smoke it but after it gets worse, my friends used to become very depressed and fobic (i don t know if fobic or fobia is an english word too), anyway it worsen stress and empty poket too while getting health worst.of course while you take it and smoke you don t feel anything and you feel like your mental state is ok you will feel the difference when you stop for sometime.
the mind is stange and it doesn t make you feel mental states when you are into it

very dangerous it lowers immune system and damage the brains, when i was 19yo i had an acute flate of hbv for about 6months, i was previously hbeag neg, hbeab neg, hbvdna und.
the flare started after smoking Marijuana with alt 200 slowly increasing till 1500 in 2 months

i also used to drink a lot of beer in those years since hbvdna was always und and there was no liver damage, we know alchool lowers immune system and helps hbv but at that time alcool was not enough to activate hbv

we cannot say it is Marijuana but we cannot exclude eather
