HBV DNA Quantitative

[AustinCluso]

HI, one of my frien who is  25 yr old male who found  Hbs Ag and Hbe Ag Positive accidently 2 months ago, so he went for HBV DNA Quantitative and shockingly the Viral load is 41,38,13,098 IU/ml.
Please let me know how he should proceed from here.
He is not consulting any doctor for any treatment.Do we have to see a Gastroenterologist.
Hoping a quick reply.

Thanks and Regards,
Austin.

on the contrary if alt/ast are not normal he has a very weak immune response and therapy is needed, only interferon, tenofovir and entecavir are approved
tenofovir is the sfest and most potent with almost no sides

hbv is complex and doesn't make damage to the liver, it is the immune reaction to the liver to make damage
so if alt/ast are normal with all that replication (replication is not the quantity of the virus...) he is immune tollerant so he has no damage at all and doesn t need any treatment both because no treatment works and because he is in the safest phase of hbv
