Could a chronic hepatitis b inactive carrier clear hepatitis b infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: It is possible. The rate of clearance is low - maybe 1% per year or so. The diagnosis of the inactive carrier state and clearance can both be tricky so be sure you are speaking with someone knowledgeable about Chronic Hep B.

A member asked:
I had the viral Hepatitis-A infection for 6 weeks but now I'm fully clear of the infection. The doctor has told me my liver will gradually recover from the damage sustained but has given no medicine for it. I'm confused, will it recover on it's own?
