check carefully hbvdna pcr, a very sensitive one, it might tell if there is disease activity

i only know a similar hbv was found on hiv patients, the only marker positive is hbcab all the rest negative, i don t remember if it was a cronic mutated form or occult hbv, if you google it is called hbcab positive hepatitis B
