1. was my doctor is correct?

- did he say the reason why he wants you to go on meds ? you could be in the immune tolerant state which needs moniroring . how could he perscribe medicine without running a full hepatitis B profile and liver panel ? .. he may not be correct.

2. was my medecine  choice is correct?
- could be correct if yo need treatment

3. what should i do?
i would ask to run a full gepatitis B profile testing for ( hbsag, hbsab, hbcab, hbeag, hbeab) and liver panel testing for ( alt and ast )

good luck

Agree with bberry.  Hepsera, compared with other antiviral drugs, hurts kidneys more.
