Did your partner knew?
Can i send you personal message? i don't want to bore people with different issue.
I can't find my peace.
I did Fiance visa and hepb was not an issue
Only in some middle east countries like UAE hep b is a problem with a job visa.
I lost my dream job, school, host family who i love more than my real one, almost my boyfriend,he is still with me but not physically, all my life that i built through years.
And i came back to my home country,/ ( thinking i will go back to USA, I couldnt imagine this coming), re surviving my previous life. I was driven to the edge, but i am still holding myself somehow.
Now we want to do the fiancee visa, but might hep b will be problem.
He doesn't know about it. But i think he is in good health. He and his family are kind of paranoid about not being vaccinated and all those things.
What big trauma happen to you?
Your boyfriend has to check the level of his HBsAb (antibodies) because if he was vaccinated long time ago it might have drop down:
< 10 is no protection, < 100 is weak protection.
I know i have poor knowledge about the whole thing.
I Ignored my disease, giving positive thoughts that i am healthy and the HBV never had impact on my life for ten years and i was happy until the big trauma.
I will connect with specialists there in London and soon i will post more accurate numbers.
I really need support and i am trying hard even beyond human potential.
and don't try to give up smoking .. just do it :)
Those numbers don't tell a lot, it's just the result of qualitive test which means you are positive for HBV.
To know a bit more you should test your HBV DNA and HBsAg both quantitive, what is important.
You may also test your HBeAg and anti HBeAg, probably first is negative and second is positive after so many years after infection.
You should also test your vit d3 25oh because probably you are defficient and cloudy weather in UK won't help with this definatelly :)
You should also have fibroscan test even if all your blood results are ok.
