Need some opinion on my HBsAg quant results and my HBV status

[naimenim]

I found out I'm HBsAg positive in January this year while attempting to donate blood. My HBsAg quant results:
In January 26, 2017 -- Sample OD: 2.328, Cut-off OD: 0.150
In May 18, 2017 --Sample OD: 2.937, Cut-off OD: 0.105
Few days ago, I was qualified then rejected later for being HBV positive for a very attractive job in a big MNC. It's august now and I'm still HBV positive...so I guess this is chronic hepatitis B. I know a viral load test would help better to understand, but PCR test is so expensive in Bangladesh. I'll check my ALT and AST this week. I've been taking milk thistle based Icterine and Liv.52 for last few months... Seeng my HBsAg quantitative results, what can you tell me? In which category do I fall? Am I screwed too much? Should I start allopathic treatment now? Also, I don't understand the result units properly...are these called IU/ml or are these log units? TIA.

don't worry get your hbv dna quantitative test, finroscan,ultrasound and gi endoscopy done, on the basis of these tests your doctor will decide whether to start treatment or not. Now a days very potential medicines like tenofovir and enteciver are available which cures hepb virus on long term treatment 3-10 yrs and keeps your liver safe from further damage

You said "Now a days very potential medicines like tenofovir and enteciver are available which cures hepb virus on long term treatment 3-10 yrs...". Could you please provide any data or research  that concludes these drugs can cure hbv on long term treatment of 3-10 yrs?

[rohan1992]

although there is not much data on long term results of tenofovir as more people are on enteciver but still i found some articles which provides data that tenofovir on long run functionally cures 10-15 % chronic hbv patients. This percentage can increase if people get to know about their disease, as you must be aware that only 5% from 350 million chronic hbvers knows about they are infected.most of the people dont even take medicine as they are carrers and probability of clearing also increases with hbeag +ve. Still i got some articles and data links for you:
