HBeAg negative and HBeAb positive

[bram44]

It appears HBeAg negative and HBeAb positive patients may have core or precore mutations, which results in active replication of virus.

When I had Genotype test it came out as follows :
      Hepatits B virus Genotype    A
     Plymerase mutations            NOT DETECTED
     PRECORE MUTATIONS       NOT DETECTED
     BCP MUTATIONS                NOT DETECTED

Tests also mentioned no resistance predicted for treatment with 5 approved drugs. Did not mention VIREAD in the list, probably being a new drug. I am currently taking VIREAD.

Does this mean I am an inactive carrier ?

How about HBsAg +ve, HBeAg -ve & HBeAb -ve as well?

[bram44]

You have HBsAg -ve and HBsAb +ve, implies you are free of hep-B.

eAg-ve and eAb+ve are meaningless for you :)

What if a person has a low viral load count that is undectable? Do you think if you tested a persons liver rather than there arm vein do you think you would get a more accurate reading?
