You should read the forum here and learn all about HBV.  There is chance of cure even at present treatment(low chance though). In the worst scenario you can control it, prevent damage, reduce cancer and live normally.  Anyway, cures are on the way.

I dont have my alt or ast at the moment but i think they are in the normal range the doctor should have told me. I dont know my family history but my mother was from ireland so i doubt she had it but unfourtunatly she passed away when i was 16 so i probably cant find out.

you may still be in the immunotolerant phase .. please indicatre ur ALT AST value... 5.0 kpa is a pretty mild  damage..almost nothing..

(2.3-6.6) F0 -F1
(7.3 -8.9) F2
(10.5- 11.6) F3
>12  F4(cirrhosis)

Most part of us chronic carriers were infected at birth.. do u have any clue about your family history with hbv??

[Flameboy]

Thanks everyone i know it probably isnt as bad as it seems i only just found out yesterday and i was a bit pissed off. I though i was acute as most adults clear it but my blood test showed i have passed that stage and still have the virus. I am 30 years old,male my results were
Hbsag positive
Hbc img negative
Hbc igg positive
Hbeag negative
Hbeab positive   And hbvdna 140iu ml
Fibroscan 5.o kpa
I just dont have a clue where i got this from im 99.9% sure i was not born with it im from uk also

@flame c'mon mate... so fare we have good tx who cannot clear but can stop the virus so to not progress into fibrosis/cirrhosis.. so it's for sure manageable...

new drugs are coming i read and am really keen to hearing about thath..

by the way tell us more about your status

- age / gender
- eag status
- liver damage

[stef2011]

you are not in the 10% you are in the 94% who keeps hbv at birth and have no damage from it.....hbv is a harless virus which makes no damage to us, it is our own immune systems to make damage and this happens in very few

don be so silly to believe the science of panic that drug makers use to sell drugs to healthy people, check the house of numbers on youtube or science of panic documentaries

also check all forum posts and you will understand how hbv is harmless on those who know they have it, in the end the stupid flu makes much more deaths than hbv

Don't worry my brother, curative drugs like rep 9ac are in the pipeline and will soon be available

Most of the people with Hepatitis B were infected through their mothers - no fault of their own or their mothers. Not all hbvers require treatments, for those who need to, there are very effective medications that can control it. So most hbvers will live a normal lifespan. Sure, there are stigma and discrimination associated with this disease - they do make life harder but you have to fight them. Look up at the people with HIV, they fought hard for their rights and for governments to find cure and look after their health. Worldwide there are over 400 million people with Hepatitis B, and over 120 million with Hepatitis C. We should all do the same. The disease is manageable, we just have to fight the ignorance and prejudice. And it is a battle we can win.
