Coping with inactive HBV

Hi,
I am diagnosed HBV ten years ago through donating blood.
I never had symptoms, i feel great, eat super healthy, exercise, smoking time to time - but about quitting. Also i was is happy mental state until big trauma happened to me.

Despite that i decided to not give up and to fight back.
I am splitted from my boyfriend, he doesn't know about my ''thing''. Because he traveled a lot all over the world and i assume he took all necessarily vaccines. His family are mostly doctors. My boyfriend also have herpes virus, but i don't have it.
Now since we were splitted against our will during visa requirements, low, regulations, we decided to do fiancee visa.  In order to get visa i need to do complete medical examination, that i learnt inactive carrier will not cause problems. But i don't know if he find out.

Now i am moving to UK and planning to get busy about my disease and i believe there i will get more accurate information and care.

So far i have this:
Date: 22.04.2010    HBS AG VIDAS   24,19

and recently:
Date: 29.01.2015    HBS AG VIDAS   21,47

Can you explain to me what that means?

Unfortunately i don't have the blood results to me, they stayed with my doctor and she said i don't have liver damage.
Please help.
I would love to connect with other members, i am 27 years old and most of you know how does it feels for young person and social life.

Many thanks!

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.

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.

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.
