interferon?not peginterferon?

16weeks is too little it cannot be used such a short time, the time to know if one responds is 24 weeks by 16weeks you dont even know if there is response or not, some genotypes may use 12 weeks

the only short time i know is staggered use by pisa research hospital

what is hbsag level?it goes up before a possible hbvdna reactivation

if hbsag less than 400iu/ml it is possible to keep inactive carrier state or have a flare to clear hbsag

is this a therapy stop after pegintf add on to tdf?

you must reach at least 24weeks then go with high dose vit d3 and tenofovir and pegintf response might be sustained after peg is finished especially because hbsag is already low

unfortunately, that is where I will stop, $75 per injection of 3 million iu of Alfa interferon has really drain and taking away most of my assets.

osteocare is absoltely not good for you unless you have bone problems, it has no vit d
take vit d3 10.000iu pills, look for the biggest vit d3 dose per pill, this will allow better response to peg (low vit d have no response or worst response), do not look for pills like 400iu or 1000iu, that s nothing

Ur doctor is completely ignorant to recommend Lamivudine. With this you have a big risk of resistance. Pls dont accept.
Well, shes real ignorant. To say there is no day you can get negative. a lot of members on this forum have cleared. The best regime: TNF with Inf add on. And your hbsag is less than 1000. You have the highest chance to clear. I suggest you look for another doctor.

look at the statements from my Dr. today.
1. she is only going to put me on lamivudine, because that is what is good for me.
2. there is no day I will ever be negative for hbsag, even those who are not infected have a trace of it.
3. peginterferon and vitamin d3 have no effects on hbsag


I could not talk much to her because a mate in my area who did not know of my condition was her record taker,  I resisted,  so treatment discussion is adjourned to tomorrow.
