Hi @Gregory,
Yes, it is possible, and I can believe it. We just don’t get enough patients achieving this status with the current antivirals. It took some time, but I am happy to see this happen. I bet you are shocked by this yourself.
You are welcome, and I am glad you found that support helpful. Best, Bansah1
My journey into the HBV tunnel started in the summer 2023. I have been through so many emotions and many of them where dark and hopeless, but then I found hepbcommunity. I have not words. I can only say Thanks you for your existence and for helping me immensely through this life changing experience, where you don’t get just medical and psychological assistance by the the Best experts in the Hep B world. but an Immense human support iand really caring about people its beautiful to see that in this world there is still beatuful people like @ThomasTu @availlant @Bansah1 @john.tavis
Dear @Gregory,
I echo Bansah1’s comments however, while you have a very good level of anti-HBs, the appearance of anti-HBs does not necessarily prove functional cure has been established. Your current NUC therapy should not be withdrawn until 6 months of undetectable HBsAg has been observed (this is the proven indicator for the establishment of functional cure). The chances of this are very good though. Congratulations.
Thank you for the kind words, Gregory. It is important that we come together as a community to limit the effects HBV has on people.
John.
Hi @Gregory,
This appears to be consistent with your antivirals works and limiting HBV DNA levels in the blood. This is also consistent with a functional cure. As mentioned by yourself and others, it is important to make sure your HBsAg remains negative over the next few tests before stopping antivirals.
Congratulations again!
Thomas
