Dear Friend
How can you say that he has been infected for 2 years?
A hepatitis B infection can be Acute or chronic.
I recommend you following investigations before commenting on any treatment modalities :
1. HBsAg
2. Anti HBc Antibody
3. Viral DNA Load - quantitative
4. Liver Function Tests
5. Liver Biopsy (if indicated based on the reports)
Review with us with these reports.
