The rise is not significant as viral load fluctuate as long you have it under 2000 iu then you are fine

antiviral are useless for you, your hbvdna is already close to undetectable and that s the only thing antivirals can do

you should check your hbsag quantity and hbv genotype and if hbsag is less than 1000iu/ml use peginterferon to cure hbv once and for all
