A member asked:

I have just been diagnosed as a hepatitis b chronic carrier. how to tell if i am an active or passive carrier?

The word active: Is this context refers to chronic active hepatitis ...There is no chronic passive form. Many people who carry hbv have no liver disease, some however have abnormal liver tests and some of these have chronic active hbv. This is best evaluated by liver biopsy and if present, antihbv treatmentis important.

Regular blood tests: Your doctor will need to monitor your hep b dna viral load and liver function tests every 6 months.
