Hi,

HBV is faster than AIDS in spreading to others, not dangerous for health than AIDS.

Only risk is if HCC is developed,so need to be monitored every 6 months.
If it's detected early, some steps can be taken to get rid of this like liver transplantation in worst case.

So, needn't worry much about this disease, you can lead normal life like others and you can live more than 100 years if you don't have any other diseases.!! Enjoy..
