Hello,

80 to 90% of people may live normal life don't worry, only 10 to 20 % may develop Hepatitis among which only 5 to 8% may develop cirrhosis of liver.

So, keep an eye on your liver by regular investigation of liver enzymes and viral load.

If any time they observed active hepatitis with liver damage, requires treatment for it, otherwise no need.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
