I was very sick with HBV some 40 years ago I was a teenager, my doctors assistant mailed me my recent HBV labs but I am not sure what exactly they mean my HBV DNA is-undectable
HBcAb-positive
HBsAg-negative
HBsAb-negitive
HBeAg-Negative
HBeAb-positive
A little note attached to my labs stated I should get blood test every six months, and I am deemed an inactive carrier, I don't know what an inactive carrier means. Many thanks for a reply.

" When they do a DNA replication rate it is only good at 160 counts. I was in the hundred thousands and there are some in the billionths. I am now undetectable, but all that means is that I am below 160. I can still pass it on and it is always good to get it looked at every 6 months. You may also be needing an ALT, AST, and billirubin test to ensure everything else is working well.

There are no worries, just eat well and take care of yourself. "
