Ram in Hyderabad Asian institute of gastrology is there na? Are u cunsulting from there? If yes how's the experience there.
Meronababe all u can do rite now is only check ur anti hbc igM status and then come back here with results. Only then it can be predicted u will b cured or not.
Gr8 3500iu will be a gr8 progress for u ram. M continuing my peg 15th week tommorow. Till now nothing I didn't get any encouraging result. Let's c by 24th week. Do check ur fibroscan coz I also had very low hbv dna hbeag neg but on biopsy results came really bad. Biopsy is a hurting procedure but gives u exact status fibroscan is good being non invasive. Beware hbeag neg status is more dangerous. I ll too check hbsag next month, fingers crossed.
Hi Jatashankar,
I am good and rocking in Hyderabad, planning to go for Fibroscan centre @Hyderabad day after tomorrow. I didn't check my HBsAg quantity, I am planning to check it next month and hoping for around 3500 iu/ml or lesser :). I will update you all on this. How are you doing and what's up?

If you are acute then you have a very high chance to clear, upwards of 90-95% depending on what you read.
If you were a baby or young child then stats are flipped, where children have a 90% chance of becoming chronic. That is why most of us on here are chronic and contracted this as a newborn or young child.
It may be hard to find someone on here that will respond to you regarding acute infection, because once they clear they move on with their lives. It's those of us that are chronic that hang around and try to help.
Best wishes to you and hope this helps.

Ha ha ha rite ram I also console myself seeing him, recently he marked hbv as a curse in an interview, anyways how r u doing? Whatever might b our statuses we all are associated with same tension when we will b free of this. Hope ur hbsag decline is still on.
i only want to know does anybody cleared with 6 month or not please any body got immunity and clear lets talk please
Hi meronabebe,
Hepatitis B is not dangerous disease like what you are thinking right now. I know few famous personalities in our country who are still alive with this disease since 33-34 years. He is 73 years old now and he is rocking!! Only thing is that we need to monitor regularly to avoid consequences. We can live long with the current medications, although it can't be cured that much easily.
Keep rocking. We all are here to support you!!

twin boy thanks for answer but i have one question mine is acute i know i only exposed befor two month but any body cured from acute phase??????please tell the truth one docotor say to me they only give hope when they say 6 month you clear .please tell the truth no hope i need pleaseeeeeeeee
Reduce your anxiety first of all and calm urself. U ain't gonna die of hbv in today's life if u monitor it regularly and take medications on requirement. U will live ur complete life if u do so and before that in coming future a cure will be available to all of us but can't say when may be other members can say something about curative drugs time period to come. Right now there isn't any cure just treatment. Probably it may take 5-10yrs.
Steff already told you in one of his posts what to test, the IgM. Below is more information on what the different parts of HBV are. You need to for sure test HBcAb IgM and IgG (read below). This will tell if it's acute or chronic. If acute as an adult you have a super high chance to clear and if chronic you have had much longer than you think. Most with HBV live long healthy full lives but you do need regular bloodwork and ultrasound (and if you have access to Fibroscan much better than ultrasound) every 6 months to make sure.
Core antigen The HBc particle that contains double-stranded DNA and DNA polymerase, and is associated with the HBe antigen; HBc is not directly detected by currently-used assays; its presence indicates persistently replicating hepatitis B virus
Core antibody A long-term serologic marker for HBV, with 2 antibodies
• IgM HBcAb A marker of acute infection, which rises early–within 2-4 weeks of HBV infection and slowly disappears; ↓ levels of IgM HBcAb indicate resolving infection; IgM HBcAb is the best serologic marker for acute HBV infection
• IgG HBcAb A 'convalescent' antibody that indicates prior HBV infection; it rises 4-6 months after infection and persists for life, especially in those with active liver disease; partially protective anti-HBc antibody levels can be induced by recombinant vaccination, but are short-lived
e antigen An antigen that rises and falls parallel to HBsAg, and derives from the proteolytic cleavage of the nucleocapsid; its presence implies a carrier state
e antibody Anti-HBe An antibody that rises as HBe falls, appearing in convalescent Pts, persisting for up to several years after resolution of hepatitis
Surface antigen HBsAg The first marker to appear after HBV infection, preceding clinical disease by weeks, peaking with the onset of symptoms and disappearing six months post-infection; as long as HBsAg is positive, the Pt is considered infectious and must follow prescribed sanitary procedures to avoid infecting others; if the hepatitis does not resolve, HBsAg persists and can be detected for many years or life.
Antibody to surface antigen HBsAb, anti-HBs, antibody to surface antigen HBsAb begins to rise as the HBsAg falls; it is detectable 8-10 weeks post infection, is regarded as being protective against re-infection, and persists for life; HBsAb is formed after using the HBV vaccine, and is not present in the chronic phase of the disease.
