how to interpret HBsAg with titer eclia

hey guys!

Can somebody help me to interpret my HBsAg with titer eclia? last Sept 11, 2008 and just recently Dec 2,2008 i took the exam. The results were like this: Sept  11, 2008 HBsAg with titer eclia=1,279 reactive,  Dec 2,2008 HBsAg with titer eclia=1,500 reactive still, Anti HBs= nonreactive on both dates. I am a chronic inactive carrier. what do they mean? are the results indicative of a favorable condition  or is it the opposite?

i really do hope if someone is gonna interpret it well. thanks and more power,

But, if it is your ONLY choice then I guess start treating while your viral load is low?  LAM has a bad resistance profile.  Cajim has good information.

If you choose treatment, lamivudine is not the best choice.
