Subject: Am I still contagious with e antibody and normal liver functions?

Forum: The Hepatitis Forum

At age 31 I became infected with sexually transmitted Hepatitis B with elevated liver functions SGOT 60 and SGPT 150.  I remained a chronic carrier for 10 years.  At age 41 my liver functions returned to normal, and tests showed that I had developed the e antibody.  However, I did not develop the B antibody, and my B surface antigen test was still positive.  Is my saliva or semen still contagious for hep B?  Two doctors I asked had opposite opinions, but neither was sure.  Do you know?  Also, I am now 53 and have not been followed for about 11 years because I thought I was wasting time and money on PST tests and sound imaging of my liver.  There was no treatment available anyway, so why perform tests?  Have things changed in the last 11 years where I really should be seeing a liver specialist?
