Although there is still no complete cure for hepatitis B, there are 7 approved drugs for adults (2 for children) and many promising new drugs in development. Current treatments seem to be most effective in those who show signs of active liver disease
Not every person with chronic hepatitis B needs to be on medication. You should talk to your doctor about whether you are a good candidate for drug therapy or a clinical trial.
Congratulations budy!
If while being switched from Hepsera to truvada is there a risk that the Hep B could become active? Also , the Hepatitis B DNA is currently undetectable and the Hep B Surface AG is currently negative (both prior to transplant as well as post transplant, so far ) what are the chances that the Hep B could become active again once the Hbig infusions are stopped? Thank you.

Not sure though when it is man who is the carrier if it is any difference, I believe your baby should be fine after vaccination at birth ( in the first 24 hours) as stated by stef.
Sana maging ok ulit result. Thank God for listening all my prayers. To those who have hepa B, hindi pa huli ang lahat. We just need to be more extra careful and of course always pray and believe in HIM. To those who are taking and will take VIREAD, I have a more cheaper price compaired to other pharmacy's price. You will have a discount of almost 7% or equivalent to Php245 per bottle. Actually if you can check information about VIREAD it can also helps those people who have HIV Positive.

It is only because in the moment that you stop Entecavir you have a increase in your HVB DNA?
I also did my own research, and it seems that Drugs used in hepatitis are used for Chronic Hep B (not for acute). But my brother started having clinical symptoms just a week ago, so why has the doctor put him on Medication? I am sure there is a reason for it, I was just too afraid to ask the doctor infront of my brother.

1%) is up on a whopping 61x surge in volume in response to its announcement of results from a third-party laboratory (in vitro) study that showed greater antiviral activity in a hepatitis B virus (HBV) cell culture for product candidate CMX157 compared to Gilead Sciences' (GILD -0.9%) tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (TAF).
My doctor recommended Viread treatment to me for hepatitis b virus. I had taken pegasy for a year, no good result;the virus returned to the blood immediately few days after the treatment of pegasy .

I have chronic hepatitis B and been using Viread and Zeffix. ALT has been normal, HBV DNA has been negative and HBeAg has been positive recently. Now I am post-doctoral researcher in Paris and applied to temporary residence permit in Paris for 1-year without work permit. I have been working in an institution in my country and I can benefit from our social security system through the consulate. Namely, I do not need social security in France.
I am not sure if you can buy it off the counter at any of the local pharmacies with prescription.
I would suggest making an appt with a local liver specialist asap and then get the drug from him subsequently. Perhaps you could contact one of the two docs below:
Dr YAP Chin Kong
+65 6733 4308
Dr CHUA Tju Siang
+65 6235 6136
I got these two names off the web. They are both located at Mount Elizabeth Medical Centre, in the middle of town.
