I am 31 Years old Male. I recently thought to take STDs test although I didn't have any symptoms; as I am looking to get married. I have no history of vaginal or anal sex. However, I got result that I am HBsAg positive. I went to MD doctor who recommended various tests including Sonography to check liver status. It came out that liver is completely normal, no diabetes and followings were the report:

1. Anti-HBc IgM : Negative
2. Anti HBeAg : Positive
3. ANTI HBsAg : Non-reactive
4. HBsAg : Reactive
5. HBV DNA Viral Load : 6360 IU/mL, Log10 Value : 3.80
When I went back to the same doctor, he said I have no active Hep B infection and it has long came and gone. So I don't need to do anything now as I am completely recovered. However, I need to get my family members tested and vaccinated for Hep B and also my future wife should be tested and vaccinated for Hep B before we initiate our sexual relationship. Can you please share your thoughts on the same? Have I completely recovered from Hep B? I haven't informed this to my family members or anyone as Hep B still has stigma around it but I am also concerned for my current and future family. Kindly help.

There can be nothing more than can be done with your situation... you may have recovered completely.. although get your close ones checked and vaccinated..
