Please help. I've been trying to get your answer Feb 20, 2004 Dear Dr. DTD, I am a HBV chronic carrier and I've never been on any treatment, I don't drink or smoke and I think that I got infected since childhood. I've had liver function test twice a year with normal results. My doctor let me have other test last month and the test results are as followed: HBsAG - Positive HBsAB - Negative HBeAG - Negative HBeAB - Positive HBVDNA - NOT DECTECTED AFP - 2.0 <11 ALT - 14 <60 My doctor only told me my liver is still good and ask me to come back to check every 6 months but did not explain about the results. Please help me to understand what those mean. And what are the chances from HBV without cirrhosis to become liver cancer? Am I treatable if become sick? And can a chronic carrier like me be cured completely? I'm worrying so much about my infection. Thank you very much |

 Relax, you don't have HBV anymore. It is gone. Just do what your doctor says and keep screening. If the DNA is negative, then you are fine. Good luck! DTD | ||||||||
