you have cronic hbv, check alt/ast and hbvdna to see if virus is active and making damage, i'd also say check fibrosis with fbroscan but i think you don t have it in florida and if your age is 93yo you must absolutely check fibrosis because hbe pos hbv at 93yo usually has made a lot of damage assuming you have got it years back

if liver damage cannot be checked by fibroscan (biopsy at your age is not a good option at all) i'd start therapy if hbvdna detectable and alt abnormal, therapy with tenofovir or entecavir
