My Clinical Trial (TDF vs. TAF) Post Medication Resutls

Wanted to see if anyone can offer any advice. Before I started this, I did not have all these results. My viral load started a 276,000 when I first learned of Hep B, spiked up to 5 million, 12 million and now this (and last result actually was 23 million but I do not have those results in front of me).

Is this an active Chronic infection? Any chance to tell how long I've had this? Or are there any tests to determine how long I've had it?

So yes, happy my vitamin D levels went up from 14. Still feel I could use 20 more points on there. Also need Hep A vaccine. The rest is good, except for the Hep B portion which I need to clear.

Stef, I don't know what low calcium water is. I've never heard of this.. and don't think they sell it bottle here in the states. Usually, that kind of stuff is not measured and if it is, it's probably very expensive to buy here.

the test will say dna detected as long as there is any pos pcr signal. if there is no signal, it will say dna not detected.

For the high pth probably some vit d receptors resistance, try to drink low calcium water less than 10mg/l  2.5liters per day....we need good kidneys unless taf will be on market very soon

Also, question. Does these tests ever say "HBV DNA UNDETECTED" or, assuming always positive HBsAG it will always say "HBV DNA DETECTED" even if it is below 29? Like let's say the HBV DNA is actually 0, will it still say DETECTED?

I can't "insist" on it being repeated... if I do, it's through my insurance which I will not do here. The clinical trial is on a schedule. It'll be repeated in 2 months anyway, so I will wait for then. Thank you for the advice. I agree, I have not been drinking enough water lately (and a LOT more coffee) and I need to!
