Nice to meet you. WOW you are very good and know your stuff.

Yes I am 30 year of age.
*****I kinda guessed that, though you are a bit younger than I thought. Usually when someone is Hepatitis B E Antibody positive AND have a detectable HBV DNA, they tend to be older than 30 or so.

I was born in England but I am Chinese. (Parents was born in Hong Kong).
******Okay, so this is one of the risk factors for having Hepatitis B. Hepatitis B is endemic (i.e. present in large numbers) in the populations in SE Asia, China and India. Most of the people seen in clinics, actually, tend to be from either China, Hong Kong or "Indo-China".

I don't know, but I do not think so.
********Now that you have been diagnosed with Hep B, it is imperative the rest of your immediate family get checked--especially your mother. You can harbour the virus your entire life and not know it.

4. Why did your doctor do testing for hepatitis B?
They thought I had a stomach ulcer, but it turned out to be Gallstone. But from the orginal blood test taken the doctors saw something with results. So they sent me to a Hepatitis B blood test.
********So they must have seen that your liver enzymes were "elevated", in other words, abnormal. Liver enzymes have a certain value (usually around 30-40), but when the liver is being damaged for whatever reason, they tend to be elevated often in to the 1000s. If, however, your liver enzymes are persistently, low-level elevated (say in the 60s) it is a clue that there might be a chronic infection such as hepatitis B or C in the background (among other things).

5. Have you ever had an attack where you became jaundiced?
I am not sure what you mean by attack? is there such a thing as a Hepatitis attack? No I have never became jaundiced.
*******Sorry! By hepatitis attack I meant a period where the hepatitis all of a sudden became symptomatic and you became yellow or had pain in the right upper area of your abdomen.

6. Do you have any other health problems?
Just have Gallstone. Other than that I feel great and very fit. I play a alot of sport.
*******Good, and you should continue to be able to to do this!

8. Has your doctor ever told you your liver enzyme levels were abnormally high?
No never. I have only ever had 4 blood tests and they all have been in the last 3 months.
****This is probably not true, and you should ask your doctor specifically what lead him to the diagnosis. Unless your GP had the presence of mind to link your ethnicity with the risk of having chronic Hepatitis B (which is unlikely), he probably saw that your liver enzymes were out of

I saw the hepatologist specialist 3 weeks ago and he says I am healthy and but I need to see him every 6 months now.
*****Yes, he will continue to follow your bloodwork, as well as your liver parameters to look for evidence of either inflammation or scarring of your liver through which he will make a decision of whether to treat you or not. Also, once you turn 40, he will likely recommend yearly or bi-yearly abdominal ultrasounds to assess your liver.

I am normally a very postive person, but this have shocked me.
If I had Hepatitis B since I was born it means my Parents, brother and sister has it too. ;0( How can I tell them?
I am also scared, what if I get ill? What do I do?
**********I know how you must feel--it is definitely overwhelming to be hit with such a diagnosis. The good part about the last two questions you have is that you are in good hands being seen by a hepatologist. By seeing him regularly, you will be assessed and followed closely to see whether you need treatment or not. As for your parents: Hepatitis B is a very common thing and it is nothing to be ashamed of. You should inform them as soon as you feel ready, but I wouldn't wait too long because, I am assuming your brother is around the same age, and he will also need to be followed. Remember that IF you got it from your mother, it doesn't necessarily mean your brother OR your father have it, but it doesn't hurt for them to get tested.

Has anyone been ever cured from hepatitis B?
Can I reduce the viral load?
******Well...kind of. There are a certain population of people who get treated for hepatitis B and then end up "clearing" the virus...more exactly, the body is able to control the amount of virus in the blood (though it remains at very low levels). In most cases, the virus can simply be suppressed with medication....this prevents liver cirrhosis. The viral load can be decreased with certain medications.

Please let me know if there are other questions you have.
