Natural cure vs occult

I hope to help me with your knowledge,I try to educate my self well after my husband diagnosed with hep b..you always said here that inactive chronic hepatitis b have 1 to 3 % to clear the virus every year,so what is the difference between those who clear the virus naturally (loss s antigen and maybe seroconvert to hbsAB) and those who became occult hepatitis b.. how can we differentiate between them?.

People who clear the virus would show DNA test to be zero and surface antigen test to be zero as well.

However, People who have Occult would have Surface Antigen to be zero but DNA still positive. Just google it and read. There is alot of information. But if you have occult, then taking vitamin D  could clear the virus.
