RebekahKNZL The Vigilant Fox 🦊 Julio Murillo I would expect they look for HBV DNA levels and HBV sAg levels. In my experience a false negative is exceptional. False positive serum samples did happen for HBsAg via qPCR. Maybe it’s a different testing in humans.
Dr Amit Agrawal, Best Gastroenterologist in Indore Hi Dr. Amit,
Thank you for Eid greetings.
I'm from Pakistan and I'd like to know that is it possible to suppress the viral load of chronic HBsAg within two months?

HBeAg: Level of infectivity
Anti-HBe: Marks recovery from Hepa B
Anti-HBs: Level of immunity
HBV DNA: Usually used po to monitor effectiveness ng therapy
