HBv viral DNA after 2 months on entecavir

Hi Stef,  Aduiski, Engr - Delacruz, Prasad 82 and others

Today I got HBv viral DNA quantitative (PART,  Dr.  Laal's Patholab) as 333 IU/ml after 2 months 10 days on entecavir 0.50mg.

Before the treatment the reading was 6250 iu /ml
HBsAg quantitative was 1666.10 IU /ml

Looks like entecavir is working?

Will do HBsAg quantitative after another month.

After 3 months of initial treatment entecavir is supposed to reduce someone's viral load by 2-2.8 logs, meaning 100 times less than it was at the baseline or even more.
If it doesn't bring you to undetectable levels by month 5-6 you should probably be switching to tenofovir.
