Answered by Dr., Doctor Tran Thi Phuong Thuy - Department of General Internal Medicine, Vinmec Times City International General Hospital.

Hello,
With the question “HbsAg positive, HBeAg negative, do you need to measure HBV load? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
HBeAg (-) does not rule out hepatitis B virus activity and liver damage. Therefore, the doctor can still order a test to measure the HBV load to monitor and decide on specific treatment. Your doctor can decide how often to test based on your condition.
If you still have questions about HbsAg-positive, HBeAg-negative, whether you need to measure your HBV load, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further testing and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
