Respected Sir/ Ma'm
Thanks for your query.
I am afraid some of your words are not clear. However HBsAg postivitiy means that you still have hepatitis B virus infection. It may be possible that after treatment the level of infection and activity of virus had gone down to low levels as suggested by your other doctor. This might have come-up again.
It would be best to consult a hepatologist (specialist in liver diseases) to get a clearer picture and start treatment, if it is warranted.
Sincerely
Sukhvinder
