For HVB he told you have hepatitis B  not chronic. you will be  definitely fine. I asked  whether I need some more test like hbsag quantity and fibroscan. He told me not required now. After 15 days you come and meet me.

So please tell whether my Doctor is in right way or I have to consult some other doctor? Aslo tell me whether these medicine have any side effect which may be increase my HBV. Can my HVB cure as doctor told.

sorry read hbcab igm wrong and though negative, i am not familiar with iu/ml scale on hbcab igm and it can be detactable in cronic flares too at low levels but we will wait the 3 months and we will know

an easy way to see wht is happening is to follow hbsag quant in iu/ml with hbvdna too, if you have it available you might recheck this again in 3 months, cronic carriers have it very high while acute have it very low after 3 months from the pick of hbvdna

take vit d3 supplements to keep vitd25oh 50-70ng/ml this can help your immune system in case acute

Hepatitis B is a slow moving disease, so 3 month wait is neither here or there.
If you are acute, then no treatment is recommended and in over 90% of adults, you will clear the virus by yourself. In the unfortunate case that you are unable to clear the virus and become chronic, all treatments are long term. Unless you know how you are infected and when, doctors rely on HBcAb Igm to differentiate between acute or chronic, or they just wait 6 months to see whether you still test positive for HBsAg.

Hope I got it right.

what stephen said same things doctor tell me too that your HBcAn Igm is not negative, it is Equivocal because value is 6IU/ml..For negative case value should be less than 5IU/ml. So after 15 days we will test again. So please tell me whether my Doctor is right or wrong?

Your doctor thinks you may have acute HBV, that is why he is not treating you, yet.

Stef2011 thinks that you are chronic because your HBcAn Igm is negative. But the test results says: Equivocal. That is "not sure".

So I suggest, you see your doctor and test again?
