At the moment, there is no definite treatment that will make HBsAg negative, i.e., a cure. However, you are in very good shape with LTFs normal and undetectable hbvdna. It means you have very low infectivity and should not be excluded any job. Unfortunately, there are still plenty of discrimination against and ignorance about hepatitis B.
