I read a nih study where if your hbeag -, and viral load is 1000+, your risk of getting cirrhosis or HCC increases 13 times vs someone who is below 1000


Not trying to scare you or anybody else, it’s just something to think about if you ever considered treatment or in that group.  Of course there are other factors to consider with it.

I do not think that is correct. Everything that I have seen says that when you are hbeg - then you are at a lower risk. I have seen papers where they say that risk are very low.
