I was diagnosed as being HBV+. My fiancè is not. We are thinking of starting a family soon. Our best bet seems to be IVF. What are our chances?

I don't understand either why your doc says you are HepB negative.

I have these result from my Hep B test and my Dr said I'm negative but base on the result my  HB S AG is reactive. Will you please explain it to me? Here are the results:
HAV AB (IGM)     NON REACTIVE
HB S AG             REACTIVE(ABNORMAL)
HB CORE AB (IGM)  NON REACTIVE
HCV RATIO      0.09
HEPATITIS C AB    NON REACTIVE

URQ pain can be related to digestion.  You need to be under a physician's care if at all possible.  Your ALT/AST look pretty good.  You need to find out your viral load and e-antigen status.

HB Core AB (IGM) Non Reactive = You are not in acute stage.

You probably have chronic HBV.  It will be difficult for you to test your liver without a doctor's guidance.

Try to get help from your local government, etc.

Best.
