how to get rid of hbsag reactive

[aamir70]

Dear stefan,
I am hbsag positive. My hbv dna was not detectable or less than 1000 copies before 2 years. I tested again hbv dna now and it is 425 iu/ ml. Alt normal. Hbeab negative and hcv negative. Hepatologist advise me to take entecavir 0.5mg once a day for 4 month. I want to go abroad middle east. Kindly help me to make my hbsag negative.

Thanks,
Aamir

Ok, so you are close to Isbd/Rwp and Lhr, which are major cities, I am sure you can find good hepatologists. First of all, like Stefano said, your numbers are very encouraging and quite uncommon between chonic Hep B carriers. So now you have to make a strategy, and move forward. There can be more than one strategy/regime. Stefano can guide you well about the options, but he sees and responds to a lot of posts, so my advise to you would be as follows:

1. Search this forum (Hep b), especially posts and comments by Stefano (stef2011), studyforhope etc to get an idea of peoples' opinions and experiences.

2. For Otan experience, links are following:

http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Hepatitis-B/HBV-almost-cleared-12-weeks-with-interferonsimvastatin/show/1676186

and

http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Hepatitis-B/After-16-week-with-Interferron--Simvastatin/show/1680711


Then you can come back here and discuss with Stefano.
