this is true ?

Some countries, like United Kingdom, have standards on HBV, meaning the minimum virus load of a person that is considered as non-infectious. The standard is 1000 to 1500 copies per milliliter of blood.

They impose the so callex standards not to treat people to save costs. Another example of eugenics at its finest.

I read the abstract, but I am not convinced.It is a difficult task to prove regression of fibrosis, as you would need multiple biopsy or fibrosis results over a long period of time. I don't believe there is any FDA approved drug to treat fibrosis. Having said that, there are diets/supplements/lifestyle/etc that an individual can understand to help the liver, as shown by the experience of stef2011.
Just my opinion.

do you know any other antifibrotics that can repair of the liver damage?

I think there are a lot of misinterpretations in the blog. I don't believe there is standard that says if your viral load (hbvdna) is below certain number, then you are not infectious. Certainly, very low or undetectable viral load would mean you are less infectious, but your blood will still not be accepted for donation. By the way, the copies of hbvdna per millilitre of blood are actually copies of infectious Hepatitis B virus (with the surface coat of HBsAg removed before they measure the quantity of viral DNA by PCR).
Also, our liver cells do not produce HBsAg, it is our liver cells infected by the HBV, through its cccDNA, using the cell's mechanism for protein production that produces the HBsAg protein.
