Hello,
Hepatitis is sexually transmitted.
Presence of IgG antibody against Hepatitis B indicates that it is a chronic infection.
At present the virus is not replicating and the infection is not active.
The viral load is also undetectable.
Antivirals will help only in the replicative state.
Get vaccinated against Hepatitis B.
Have protected sex with your partner.
