Chronic Hep B Carrier

I was wondering if Hepatitis B can actually be completely cured?
I have come across some legitimate websites that say this has not yet been discovered...

also, is there a big difference between oral medication and injections to treat Hepatitis B,
in terms of effectiveness?

Thank you for your detailed reply.
I am Asian, and I am from Canada.
That is actually a low rate of being cured. :(

Majority of Asians had genotype B and C (82%).
Majority of Europeans had genotype A and D (84%)
North Americans mainly had a mix of genotype A, B, and C (81%)
South Americans mainly had genotype A and F (78%)

Loss of HBsAg differed according to HBV genotype: 14% for genotype A, 9% for genotype B, 3% for genotype C, and 2% for genotype D.
That means of 100 paitents with genotype D, two person can be cured :(.

One year of Peg-interferon alpha-2b for HBeAg-positive patients led to HBsAg loss .Peg-interferon alpha-2b is the best therapy to achieve HBsAg clearance in patients with genotype A.
