it means what he said, it will remain in few cells but just theory because there is no test to see it and it doens t matter anyway because it will mean nothing to us, tehy are fully neutralized by hbsab and can t do nothing but be destroyed and not infect any cell

Do you meant , if at the end hbsag quanti is negative , DNA  will automaticaly be negative . Now  ''been seen in few liver cells'' , means dna will still be positive in a very low quantity? like  22ui/ml .don't get u well here
