of course, hbvdnameans nothing in terms of hbv infection, it goe up and down itself and also lat/ast, most of cronic hbv patients are hbvdna und and normal alt/ast without any drug

But in Nigeria here they said I need a Doctor's authority before fibroscan can be conducted on me, and all the Drs I have seen so far, after seeing my USS and LFT, used to say I'm ok, and dont recommend further test for me.

well that's ignorant doctors for you.you are probably ok but without fibroscan you cant tell 100%.anyway the risk of damage in your situation is extremely low

"over all you look improving"

But I have not been on any medication. Is it possible to improve without using anything?

MANY SCANS, USS AND CT,

these scans are only for liver cancer, they cannot see liver damage.

you should try alinia as others in the community

over all you look improving but a fibroscan is needed we dont know whatthe state of the liver is although normal alt it is not posssible to exclude cirrhosis/fibrosis from that
