Hello,
Your laboratories say that your disease is well under control, Hepatitis B Virus spreads by direct contact of your bodily fluids with the other, so travelling and living with some person will not transfer the virus, as you are already on entecavir, you should be on regular follow up with your doctor abroad for follow up scans, liver tests and viral tests, if your treating doctor and the university you are going from gives you a pass, then it is no problem I believe , please consult your treating doctor. Hope I could help you.
Thank you.
