Welcome to HCM.
Dear suhas , HBsAG positive patients need to follow up regularly with their LIVER FUNCTION TEST and HBV DNA load.You should approach to nearest gastroenterologist for further check up for Hepatitis viral markers to rule out avtive state. Patient can be asymptomatic for long time but he/should always be in touch with consult doctor.. HBSAG positive patients do not need treatment until liver function test impaired and Hepatitis virus DNA load increases.
So i suggest you to be in touch with your doctor for further follow up.
Thanx for query.
