HbeAg negative and DNA Hbsag quant question

I'm hoping to get some help understanding something that totally confuses me.  For those of us that are HbeAg negative and NOT on antivirals.....why do some have high DNA but very low hbsag and others have low/undetectable DNA but high hbsag?

Just my opinion.  For you are far more knowledgeable and help me a lot with your advice.  I would bc some become active carriers from inactive carriers at different types.  My doctor from what I recall drew a cell with three rings, but hbeag- only have two ring cells.  Maybe the cell is mutating, but I would say go see your hepatologist to see what is flaring it up.
