Can a inactive carrier infect me with hepatitis b through unprotected sex?
HER PROFILE:
HBV DNA - UNDETECTABLE (Her doc said it is in the undetectable range)
HBeAG - NEGATIVE
HBSAG - POSITIVE
HBeAB, ANTI-HBe - POSITIVE
LFT (liver function test) - NORMAL
She got the condition from her mum at birth and so did all her sisters so she is considered a inactive carrier currently and gets yearly tests done since finding out about her condition 4 years ago. She has JUST informed me about her condition after 7 WHOLE MONTHS of dating. Considering the above test results she got done 5 months ago as per her routine hepatitis b check up, WHAT STAGE is she in (she is 23 years old) and what is the next stage she will go into? How LONG will she be in this stage Or would she remain this way forever? I know nothing is guaranteed but i just want to know the probabilities of all the different outcomes.
She knowingly had unprotected sex with me numerous times in the 7 months after receiving her test results and claimed when i asked her that she is not AT ALL infectious and her doctor "VERBALLY" said it, even though its nowhere on her report (is this true?). Is she 100% not infectious and 0 risk? Everywhere i read on the internet it says lifelong carriers are low risk but still a risk and protections should be taken so im very confused.
I know about the vaccines and immunisation etc so im not asking about any of that. All i want to know is if she KNOWINGLY potentially exposed me to the virus (even if the chances were slim). She has carried on claiming that CURRENTLY she ISN'T infectious - even if i am NOT immunised and therefore she didnt need to disclose the information to me before unprotected sex and thats why she didnt bother finding out if im immune or need the vaccine series.
Is she lying, untrustworthy and selfish or desperate by putting someone she 'LOVES' life at stake? Or is she true and not at all infectious (0%), which conflicts with everything on the internet.
I need all your responses so please kindly do reply. THANK YOU!!!

I am inactive carrier. I got diagnosed with this after 3 years of my marriage. My wife didn't get HBV although she didnt have antibodies. Now she got vaccination and she has antibodies. Leading happy family with two kids.

Yes but my girlfriend knew she was a carrier!! for 6 months she did not tell me and had unprotected sex. i feel she was just thinking about her side to make sure i dont run away from her. thats why she told me after 6 months when i was so committed already and she felt "safe" to tell me. She didnt give me a fair chance by telling me early she only cared about her side. She also said her doctor "verbally" told her she is not infectious. would professional doctors ever say this or is she lying? would all doctors suggest carriers to tell their partners and get protected?? would she want me to be protected also just in case?? she only cared for herself and to make sure i am 100% committed first. what do you guys think?
You will not get infected!

how do you know??? are you sure?? why do you say so??
if viral load is undetectable but hbsag is positive isnt it infectious? or not?
there is always a chance of infection , that is why hep b is considered a Sexually transmitted disease. Being a inactive carrier lowers the transmission rate significantly, but do not be naive that it will not transmit through unprotected sex. The higher the virus count the higher the chance of transmission. Since she is a inactive carrier the odds are in your favor. Better safe than sorry check if you have antibodies, if not get vaccinated right away. The disease is very manageable for her and do not let it affect your relationship if you truly love her.
hi, my issue is that for 6 months she knowingly didnt tell me about her hep b and we had unprotected sex throughout. She claims her doctor said she is not infectious wether im immune or not, but i dont know if i should believe her that a professional doc would guarantee that. I really dont know what to do..i cant trust her now.
And anyways i think she should have told me waayy before 6 months and before getting me so emotionally involved. what do you guys think? i feel rather then true love she tried to trick me into being fine with her hep by revealing it so late when im 100% committed already. Its unfair on me and i dont feel thats how true love works based on secrets.???

I don't think so cases here has it more that it's unlikely.I think God is d way becos nobody really understand hepatitis B. They say I am an inactive carrier but I don't fall sick even in wet season while people with no hepatitis fall sick.so wats d measure.
Most hepB patients do not have symptoms and do not feel sick because of this particular disease. But this doesn't mean they are not capable of transmitting the virus to others. Some hepB patients could feel perfectly fine even when the virus is completely damaging their liver, and if not treated they may end up getting serious complications like liver cirrhosis and hepatocelular carcinoma (liver cancer) that could end up with death.
Your answer is in the research itself here: Everywhere i read on the internet it says lifelong carriers are low risk but still a risk and protections should be taken so im very confused.
Good call on that research. I too am in the same stage as her. Before I had known about my chronic case (which may have been lifelong for all I know), I have had unprotected sex with a few women. I do not know if they were vaccinated (I now have this discussion with any girl I plan to be with) but I *do* know they were never infected. So it is correct, that the risk is VERY low but it does not mean that she is non-infectious. It sounds like she doesn't want to tell you she is low risk infectious in fear of leaving you. Either this, or her doctor is naive.
My doctor flat out told me I was at a low risk infectious stage -- so if such is the same for me, then the same is the same for anyone else in this same stage. I'm not sure the percentage of risk when we refer to low risk though.
