A member asked:

Is there any chances that the hepa b virus will become negative after the medication and will result to negative blood result? or the hbsag testing?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: If you are talking about the common pulls for hep b e.g. Viread, baraclude, (entecavir) then chances are good your doctor can get your viral load to become negative. However , true cure such as converting hep b sag from positive to negative is very rare for this regimen. Most patients need to remain on lifelong therapy.
