Should I stop Hepsera?

I been taken Hepsera 10mg daily for 6 years now and the virus is undetected. Today my doctor told me to stop to see my body could suppress the virus it self. Should I stop or keep taken it? will my condition get worse? what if it didnt work and I take hepsera or viread and develop resistant? Help or personal experience would be great. Thank you

you should stop hespera because it is not a firstline hbv drug from many years and it is toxic for the kidneys and switch to tenofovir

you are hbsag positive so it is crazy to stop it now, only having hbsag at less than 100iu/ml maybe safe but it is still to eraly to know this, no studies on this yet

if you want to clear hbv fast the best way is peginterferon add on and switch to tenofovir during peginterferon add on
