Can you stop taking medication after getting hepatitis B with a positive?

Patient's question:

The hospital I went to. The doctor said. It will be normal if you eat normally. Now that the medication has been stopped, it's not normal anymore. What should I do

Doctor's answer:

Since the hepatitis B surface antibody in patients with chronic hepatitis B is positive, it indicates that the virus is actively replicating in their bodies and they also have a certain level of transmissibility. However, chronic hepatitis B only reflects the activity of the virus in the body and does not provide information about the liver function of the patient. Therefore, the belief that having chronic hepatitis B means severe liver damage is incorrect. To understand how liver function is affected, chronic hepatitis B patients need to undergo liver function tests and ultrasound examinations at a reputable liver disease hospital. The results of these tests will confirm the extent and severity of the liver damage.
