What Is The Alternative Medicine For Interferon?

In late 2009 I was detected HBV Positive. Doctors give me entecavir. I took entecavier for 15 months. Then my HBV DNA test became negative. Doctor advised me to stop entecavir. Againg I tested my HBV DNA in October 2011 and the result is Positive. Doctor now adviced me to go with Interferon. What should I do now. I do not have enough economic strength to afford interferon. Is there any alternative? I am 48 years old male. My health is good and strong. I have no weakness. My appetite is very good.
