We all will have probably the same fate as hep c carriers. That;s how they are getting cured, and I hope will work for us as well, finger crossed, good sign

after 5 to 10 years of most potent tdf or etv most patients have low hbsag, if not 1000iu/ml at least in the range of response....just a matter of time to reach lower values while on treatment

How does your doctor comment about your high level of qHBSAG?

and he is right we know nucs lower intrahepatic hbvdna and cccdna close to 100% by 5-10years (no effects in less than 5 years), of course the most potent like tdf the better over the weaker antivirals like etv and ban of wealest like adv, lam and so on

cd8 will recover functionality and pegg add on will restore nk cells to to clear hbv

it is all studied, proven and easy, just be patient and results will come

I could not imagine what I do if you were not here Steff. Because doctors do not explain the situation and tend to not telling anything about current and future status of us. Thanks for your efforts.

Turkey has excellent medication fields, a lot of Turkey's doctors are well-known around the world. Here in New York we have one of the best Turkish American surgeon, Dr Mehmet Oz

they knew all that 10 years ago that combo therapy works best. This is no new news.

I can believe, how slow the process with HBV treatment is. Still beating the same dead horse.

Where is gene therapy to knock out viruses? Where are immune system modification therapies?

Mehmet Oz is a showman rather than doctor :)

He always talks about how to live healthy rather than a cure of any illness.

Hello Steff,

I read some researches that interferon does not work well in patients with HBEAG negative.

Before ETV treatment (6 months ago) I was HBEAG positive, but one month ago my HBEAG became negative and ALT flared from 90 to 330 (I do not know about ANTI-HBE status).

Does it mean that Interferon does not work for me? What do you think?

you have all the answers reading the research above.do not read around on the internet and do not read anything older than 2012 and which is not sequential treatment because wrong and obsolete by now

nothing work without sequential, pegintf monotherapy is 7-11% hbsag clearance, this is nothing when off therapy hbsag clearance is about 4% per year

SafiSifa, you just said that your doctor do not explains about this disease. I noticed something in this forum that almost all members have the same problem. Do you know what? my opinion, as the Steff says do not look the old posts, because the new news are coming out and even many doctors are not aware, so they are afraid to talk with patients about anything they don't know. I had last week my visit,and even though my doctor is a professor of liver, he wasn't aware for the latest news of international liver conference. I showed the link that Steff posted, and he became very optimistic. He said: yes soon will be the same thing as for hep C.

So, I think in my case,my doctor is absolutely excellent,but they are very busy with patients and they don't see every month every update, We all have to be careful and to collaborate with our doctors. Thanks god today we have all tools to keep ourself updated through internet. This is my message to you all. We should be happy because at least things have changed,we are not living as 10 years ago where it was only lamiv. we have more chances to be cured: keep in mind vitd3 and sequential treatment the thread above.
