HBsAg : Reactive,2.10
Anti-HBc Total : Positive
HBeAg : Negative
ALT   : 14 IU/ml
AST   : 24 IU/ml
Other LFT : Normal
HBV DNA PCR : Quantification not possible,since viral load is below reference range,<31.6 IU/ml.
Anti-HBs : < 3.0 IU/ml

Thank you so much for your replies..Actually,I came to know about this recently when I just did a blood test..I don't have any major symptoms..But I have some problems of backpain and headache for some long time.But I am not sure whether it is related to this or not.I hope that I am in a self recovery state.If unfortunately I am an inactive carrier,then Is there any possibility of becoming HBsAg not reactive?As your advice I will take Vitamin D..My Anti-HBs shows a low level but still <3 IU/ml..Is it a good sign?If Anti-HBC Total is positive,then can we say that it is an acute infection?

Chronic Hepatitis patients have a very, very small chance of HBsAg becoming not reactive, with or without treatment. But there are very effective treatments when they are needed.
In my opinion, low or any Anti-HBs level is not significant when HBsAg is still positive.
When Anti-HBC Total is positive, it indicates you are infected with HBV, whether acute or chronic. If acute, after you recover, antiHBC Total will still be positive.

Your vid d level is not normal, consider supplementation. You may also check HBsAg quantitive, probably it's gonna be low because you seem to be inactive carrier.

Your ALT is good as it is below 19 iu/l for female. Your hbvdna is below the limit of quantification but detectable, I presume. This is also very good, the lower the better. Not knowing your history, it is still possible that you are acute and on your way to self-recovery. You should check again in a few months' time. In the unfortunate event that you are chronic, you seem to be in the Immune Control("inactive") phase, no treatment is needed, just regular monitoring. I don't think your condition should exclude you from traveling aboard anywhere. If you want to migrate, some countries would consider your case on its merit. There is no treatment for a cure for the moment, but it should be coming.
