you can eat anything you want.  The most important test result is HBS Ag.  What is the result?

My HBe Ag is (-)
      HBe Ab is (+)
Is there anything that i shouldnt eat or drink.
are there any more tests i should have done,if so which ones.

should i be worried at all.

Thanking you.

please let me know your entire panel.  HBV is indicated if the surface antigen is (+); if the surface antibody is (+) it is protective.
