A member asked:

Is it possible to completely eradicate hepatitis b virus from body? i have completed so many courses of treatment but the test is still positive.

Yes: It does depend on what type of hepatitis b you have, whether you were born with it or acquired it as a child versus as an adult. There are many factors. Please speak with your treating hepatologist and find out.
