Hi, Thanks for writing in. Hepatitis B is a chronic liver infection that is caused by virus. It does not get completely cured, but the virus load can be reduced with medicine. The Bag test will be reactive in you life long and this shows that the hepatitis B virus is circulating in you. To know the exact status of hepatitis you please do hepatitis B antibodies test and viral load. This will tell the activity of the infection in your body. If it is high then treatment is required. Infectivity and transmission of hepatitis B virus depends on viral load. It is possible that your viral load is low after treatment and does not require any intervention and treatment.
