You are an active chronic carrier. So yes, you should attempt to do treatment.

The goal of the treatment is 

1) Lower the virus count to undetectable
2) Seroconvert from HBeAg+ to HBeAg-


You should really from now on talk to your dr's since they will have all the pro's and con's of the possible treatments.

Thanks Jboyhk, The doc recomended a Hespera 1 daily. I'm yet to talk to him about other forms of tx. I also talked to the doc about the soaring bx pain. He has no clue wht's causing the pain so I'm to be scheduled for a cat scan. 
 I don't really understand how this viral load staff is counted. Any explanation from forumers? Is mine acceptable or is way too much?
