A member asked:
After 4months of being diagnosed 4 hbv, i was yesterday tested non-reactive to hbv. how long should i stay away from alcohol?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Common sense: When the HBsAG test becomes negative, it does not truly mean that the virus is gone yet. Total avoidance of alcohol is not needed if you feel well but do not 'tie one on'.
