This is not quantitive test, whatever the lab tells you.
Real test should be in iU/ml. You can not do any conclusions based on that test.

Your HbsAg test is NOT a quantitative assay. COV stands for Cut Off Value. It is not a standard unit. A true quantitative test for HBsAg will report in IU/ML.

The good news is your hbvdna is very low, which is good. No-one can tell you whether you will clear HBV based on just 1 set of results at a single time point. Hepatitis B is a chronic illness, a full recovery is possible, but chances are very small.
