Simvistatin good to take?

Hello All,
My HBsAg is 12.80 UL/ml and my HBsAB is <10UL/ml. Fibroscan currently showing 8.7kpa. I take high concentrated EPA/DHA fish oil and high concentrated vit D currently. I have seen in other posts that the surface antigen needs or makes cholesterol to multiply itself and I have just had a test for mine and it is 5.8. My doctor says it is too high and has written me a prescription for simvistatin. Now I have tried everything to get it down and nothing works so it looks like I need to take these statins. What are your thoughts? Should I continue to try to watch my diet ( I like too many sweet things) and not begin the statins or begin taking them? If I do take them will they be of benefit for the HBV as I seem to be clearing it?
Thank you to all the great posters here for helping and guiding us with your great knowledge of the virus and ways to help.

nmol/l is obsolete unit since a long time, at least in europe

if possible change lab or have it use int'l units.vitamind is ng/ml and calcium mg/dl, i can t comment it requires too long time for me to change from a unit to another

red blood cells 4.54 (below average)
haematocrit 0.388 (below average)
white blood cells 3.2 (well below average) (norm is 4.0 to 11.0)

these are all too low, correct vitamin d3, try to use only fresh vegetables in your diet.i also suggest oxidative stress tests, these are available by www.redlabs.com or www.europeanlaboratory.nl if not available in uk

estimated GFR...>90 mL/min

all tests on kidneys are very very poor sensibility, it is best to have 24hrs urine collection and have it creatinine clearance from it.you may have all other tests normal but damaged kidneys, 24hrs urine creatinine has more sensibility, they just dont use it because difficult to sell test...
