Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
You are having erectile dysfunction.
Erectile dysfunction is not a known side effect of entecavir.
It could be part of aging process or due to organic causes like diabetes.
Consult an urologist/endocrinologist for evaluation of your erectile dysfunction.

I hope that answers your question.
Regards.
