Hepatitis b

[tibovah]

Hello.

A week ago I was diagnosed Hep B.  S-Anti-HBe   Negative

S-HBeAg      Negative
S-HBsAg   positive (neutralise)
S-Anti-HBc  Negative(the only HBc related test)
S-HBsAg   positive 21.9 (when negative is <0.8)

a week later
S-HBeAg      positive
S-Anti-HBc  still NEGATIVE(the only HBc related test)
S-HBsAg   positive 203 !!!   (when negative is <0.8)


I am 31. The doctor says sit and wait, but I am worried. Currently conlcusion is acute.
1. Can this be chronic? how old do you think I have had this ( i assume this is recent)? 3. My wife could potentially have this (low likelihood), but she is pregnant-advice is appreciated.

Best,
Tibo

Thank you very much!

dear Soflab, thanks a lot. I was wondering whether this could be a very initial stage, since HBSAG is growing fast, and total HBCab is still negative (in chronic one,as well as late stage acute one, i think should be positive!). IF true, how likely am I to develop chronic? I have read that around 5-10% of adults will develop chronic. Would any healthy adults belong in here?
