Just to add I'm a chronic carrier, HBsAg-positive, HBeAg-negative.
Not sure where are you going with this question. My DNA is lower than yours and I still consider myself infectious. We are inactive carriers but there is still a risk. It's not only in blood, it's also in bodily fluids. Although the concentration may be lower, it's still there. My gastro said getting somebody infected is extremely low. Nobody can tell you what may or may not happen in your situation. In my situation, I've had it for years, my ex-wife never contracted it, subsequent girlfriend did not get infected and both of them were not vaccinated. With that said, be careful but don't get paranoid about it. I hope that helps and I'm not a doctor.
I feel like there are a ton of diseases/bacteria/viruses worse than hep b that can be transmitted the same way but we don't talk about it. To put things into perspective, a 23 year woman was admitted to a hospital after her vacation. To keep the story short, she tried local delicacy, squirrel's brain. She died after 3 months as there is no treatment and bacteria could not be killed by any known form of sterilization. So do I worry about hep b? Not so much.
Bigmoviebuff, I would have to say at least 10 years or even 20 but I can be totally wrong. I cannot pinpoint exact time when I was infected but my doc said I have it for a really long time.
Live you life, do what you normally do and don't think too much about it.
I have my own set of plates and bowl, cup, silver utensil, I dine on my own even rest of the family are all sitting on the dinning table to avoid possible spreading the virus, it has became a habit that even though I am functionally cured from hbv, I still tend to eat aside.
If HBV DNA viral load is < 1000 iu/ml and HBeAg is negative, then the risk of transmitting HBV is very very less. But this is true only in case of transmission through unprotected sex, all forms of body fluids etc. Because, blood is easiest of all ways for transmitting HBV. However, there should be blood to blood contacts. By touching infected blood, one can't get HBV. If you happen to touch infected blood, then it is better to wash properly. Otherwise, we can have a normal life like others. These days, almost all do get vaccinated. So, risk is further less. I have seen many cases of non-transmitting HBV through unprotected sex. I have not seen yet any transmission cases through saliva & other forms of body fluids. So, let's not overly worried about HBV and try to ensure the following -
1. Get all near to you vaccinated asap
2. Always ensure that we maintain HBV DNA viral load < 1000 iu/ml
3. Maintain hygienic atmosphere
4. Cover up your wounds, cuts etc.
5. Avoid drinking liquor, wine etc. & smoking cigars
6. Maintain vitamin levels as desired for a healthy man
Last but the not least, just think too much and live your life.
Just remember, we come across many viruses in our life but it is our immunity that fights with them and kills them. So, always, we must ensure that we must keep maintaining our immunity strong. God bless all of us with some medicine that cures HBV.
