The reason of tdf use in ur case is not for hbvdna in the blood but for hbvdna in the liver, make it very low in the liver and allow cd8 immune cells towards hbv recovery so that pegintf will work

Hyipguru, i heard of similar cases, can you please give me exact details of your case, were you deported following visa medical test or a test that you have decided to do in a government hospital? , was the category written on your residency stamp not matching with your actual job?  The low forces private hospital to report the cases so they do know about every single one who has it.



Stef,    what is the benefit of tenofovir if my hvbdna is very low anyway ? Would it attack the HbsAg it self ? What is special about this particular antiviral ?

if there is deportation go for tenofovir immediately and after 3 years try pegintf add on, if you risk deportation it is best to try everything to clear hbsag even if liver has no damage or hbv is inactive

@sam 19,beware of where you go to in UAE for hbv test,they can get you deported in no time. I was deported last year coz of hepb. I worked with ekfc then and laundry dept which has nothing to do with food.uae lied about hepb deportation for some categories. Only your company can cover you for a while if during test you are lucky they didn't disclose it to government,once govt is aware or once you do test in government hospital,you will be deported immediately coz they will submit your blood for a retest in disease control center. So beware of where you go to for now and keep things on the low.i heard some private hospitals also personal report hepb positive workers to government.
