I have been recently diagnosed with Hep B, although they cannot say when I may have contracted it.
I had not had multiple partners and my last partner of five years has not been infected. She subsequently recieved immunisation. How did I not pass the virus onto her??
My tests show that the Virus is undetectable, however I am carrying the virus antibody.
This is where I am confused and the answers from my doctor is vague.
If the virus is undetectable, can I still pass on the virus?
Am I less infective under the circumstances?.
Can I pass it through food sharing, kissing, oral sex, etc?
Since my virus is undectable, can I be treated to be rid of the virus?

Confused

You being undetectable means that AT THE MOMENT at which they drew your blood for that test, your virus in blood was at the very very very low levels. Hep B can frequently change it state, from being "undetectable" to being moderately  high, so you can't rely that just because of the fact that you were "undetectable" at the date they took your blood for testing, that you are still "undetectable" and thus have unprotected sex.

Kissing and sharing food and utensils is regarded as safe in practice, however a remote/minimal theoretical risks exists if the person you are kissing is actively bleeding.

you did, many partners develop immunity but antibodies are not detactable by normal assays, this happens when hbvdna is low or und and immunity of partners is low but enough to block virus

My tests show that the Virus is undetectable, however I am carrying the virus antibody.
which antibody?only hbsab can control hbv infection all the others are useless for hbv control.there is no complete eradication of hbv only immune control by hbsab antibody so you will be always infectious by blood

If the virus is undetectable, can I still pass on the virus?
yes all assays sensibility is low, hbvdna und doesn t mean you have no virus but low virus

Am I less infective under the circumstances?.
yes if hbsab is detactable you can pass infection only by blood

Can I pass it through food sharing, kissing, oral sex, etc?
if hbvdna detectable yes, there is a low risk of infection by oral sex and deep kissing, when hbvdna is und no you can pass virus only by blood

Since my virus is undectable, can I be treated to be rid of the virus?
no you can only achiveve immune control by interferon and/or nitazoxanide therapy developing hbsab antibody

there is only one type of infection which escapes vaccines and immunity, it is hbsag mutant in this case you have both hbsag pos, hbsab pos, hbvdna 1-20iu/ml (supersensitive test needed)
