Hepatitis B Carrier

[hope739]

Hi to everyone on this forum,

I went through many posts here and I found them interesting and I will need your advices.

I’m HBV carrier, I was diagnosed with HBV since last year and never being in any serious treatment and I will like to start my treatment as soon as possible.

Starting the treatment I believe I have to do some blood test first and I will like you to advice me all the test I need to do before start any treatment.

My country doesn’t do much of HBV test so I also found out that I can send blood sample abroad for testing. Also if anyone knows any cheap laboratory in India or any other places please provide me with more details.  

Please, advice me all HBV test I should do before start any treatment.
Help me please
Thanks.
