Means she built up her immunity and it's perfectly fine to marry her. But make sure when she gave birth to a baby, the baby should be immediately immunized with Hep B

If you are positive with HsAgB and the job is directly in contact with the product they are making ( fear of contaminating their product) or as health care worker that works directly with patient,  you may not get it.

It means your HBV DNA is undetectable but your HsB surface antigen is still present and active. You can not withdraw Tenofovir and must continue taking it indefinitely. Recent studies shows that after taking Tenofovir for a number years, and later stop taking Tenofovir, a certain per centage of patience loss their HsB antigen and the antibody rises. Their number of clinic doing clinical trial here in the US. You want to talk to your hepatologist how this clinical trial progress.

antivirals can lower hbsag by lowering hbvdna in the liver too and after 6-10 years of use start to lower hbsag considerably on a minority of patients

cccdna is also created by virions not being released in the blood stream but going back to the cell to create more reservoir of cccdna.of course the lesser virions the lesser reservoir.this is extremely slow because antivirals cannot block all virions at all

I thought CCCDNA stays in hepatocytes forever. I also understand there are clinical trial in the US for withdrawing Tenofovir after taking it for a couple of years to see if the patient's immune system can clear up the HsBV and HBsAB rises means you are clear of diseases.
