What is the cure for hepa b?

No reliable cure: Teens or adults who catch hepatitis B get sick, and then recover on their own, but about 5% become carriers and always have the virus. Babies who catch hepatitis B become carriers of the virus. The antiviral medications block the virus, so the patient has fewer and fewer numbers of virus if the treatment works. A few patients are called "cured" in that blood tests don't detect the virus any more.

Anti-virals: This requires long-term treatment with specific antiviral medications effective against hepatitis B.

No ...: There is no cure for hepatitis b. However, there are very good antiviral medications which can keep the virus in check. You should see a hepatologist to discuss this.
