Is the change from to an improvement?

Patient's question:

My friend contracted hepatitis B with a high viral load (HBeAg positive), and he generally doesn't visit other people's homes. The last time we met on the street, he seemed quite happy and told me that he had transitioned from a high viral load (HBeAg positive) to a moderate viral load (HBeAg negative). Judging by his demeanor, it seemed like he really was in a better condition.

Doctor's answer:

Actually, there's no significant difference between and in essence. cannot prove that the condition is lighter than. Although the hepatitis B core antibody is no longer positive, it still indicates a high level of hepatitis B virus replication and significant liver damage. The treatment should be comprehensively evaluated and determined based on hepatitis B virus DNA levels and liver function tests. The hepatitis condition is very serious, and it is recommended that patients receive timely and symptomatic treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow their doctors' advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to self-care, maintain a proper diet, and avoid worsening the condition.
