I found out at 38. Look into taking care of your naturally. Keep it clean and sanitary around your kids. I have three kids, 11, 5, 2, and I no longer share cups or bathroom. But that's my preference.   I don't really stress about like I did, when I first found out. I was sure I would die of HCC, but now, I just live and most of the times I don't even think about it.

Take your diet seriously and if you have fatty liver, try to take care of that.  My liver isn't good as my wife's but I am not going to die either, at least hopefully not anytime same...lol

Just give it couple month and you ll be back to normal.  Best wishes and merry Christmas

Your kids r safe if vaccinated. You check other family members like mother brother for hbsag test.

Thanks,Is it possible to have no risks till age of 37? or I am infected in recent times? as I verified in web most chronics are infected below age 5.not able to lead life. getting bad thougts.

At this time you are a chronic carrier with good immune control and ver very low infectivity. Regular retesting will be required to catch a possible flare up of the hbv into a more aggressive form with higher viral load and increased liver damage. In that case you might have to block the hbv with antivirals. Currently only watchful waiting is necessary.
