and what should be the best treatment for chronic inactive carriers
and how long can it take for the virus to be cleared?

when is the best time for me to start peginterferon?
i dont know when mine started but i was tested positive febuary last year.
i told me i might be chronic looking at my status. i didnt believe u but tested again this week with this results
Hepatitis B  surface antigen (HBsAg) :   positive

Hepatitis B  surface antibody(HBsAb):   negative

Hepatitis B e antigen(HBeAg):      negative

Hepatitis B e antibody(HBeAb):   positive

Hepatitis B  c antibody(HBcAb):   positive

some members cleared hbsag by less than 24 weeks but it is best to keep peg for 48weeks to consolidate response

[stef2011]

time depends on hbsag level usually 48weeks to a couple of years

first of all most doctors are ignorant of inactive carriers just saying as inactive patients with hbvdna undetectable or with normal alt.inactive carriers mut have the following:

hbsag less than 1000iu/ml genotype D, other genotypes have lower hbsag
hbvdna less than 2000iu/ml
alt less than 30 men and 19 women
fibroscan less than 6kpa

to clear hbv by peginterferon an hbsag less than 1000iu/ml and very low hbvdna is needed but most ignorant doctors don t treat these inactive patients that can be cured
