Hi Welcome to healthcaremagic.com
HBsAg + denotes acute HBV hepatitis. It may occur before icterus is clinically evident. Persistence beyond 6 months defines a carrier. Anti-HBsAg - rises once the acute disease is over and convalescence has started. These two indicates you are a carrier.
This can also happen with vaccination. I can not estimate the duration of the disease.
Regarding treatment options, there are certain indications. Viral DNA should be >20,000 IU/ml+ ALT should be elevated or id you have liver biopsy there should be significant histological disease.
HBeAg negative indicates you are infective and virus is not replicating.

Tahank you doctor,
I am also suffering from hysnophylia. One more thing my both palms were burning with heat with mild fever and fitigue symptoms no other symtoms, if any one touch my palm they felt very heat. Dr. Jagadeesh told me that I am a inactive carrier. What is the mean of inactive carrier. this means the virus is inactive or disease is inactive? furthr my lft is normal. how long can I lead my life with this stage of disease. Please explain the result of blood tests hbcab - reactive, P.value L (0.011) ( cut of >1.00 non-reactive), hbeag-non-reactive P.value( 0.09) <1.00 (non-reactive), SGPT-18 ( cut of value 40 UI/ML). I am waiting for your reply
