Lab Results For Hep B

Hi, I have been diagnosed with Hep B almost a year ago now. I am trying to understand my recent lab results:
HB S AG = positive
HB Core AB Total = positive
HB Core AB = negative
HB Surface AB = negative
HB E AG = negative
HB E AB = positive
Hep B Virus DNA count = 958 IU/mL
Heb B Virus DNA count = 5576 copies/mL

I am not sure what everything mean and so any feed back is so greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

that just mean you have cronic (chronic) hbv but those test are not useful for cronic (chronic) carriers but just for screening for acute hbv

you need:
hbsag quantity in iu/ml, abbott architect machine can make hbsag quantification

fibroscan or biospy, biopsy not recommended too invasive and not accurate

without these two parameters it is not possible to define your status

as regards hbv the only cure available at the moment is:
tenofovir for about 1 year and then interferon add-on for another 96weeks with hbsag monitoring until hbsag clearance
