    I am on treatment, taking tenofovir. No side effects at all. I feel very good. It was prescribed to me by an experienced Indian Hepatologist.

    i recommend it without reservations

    No side effects for the first 5 years.  Slight reduction in kidney function in year 6.

      Also, and importantly, undetectable viral load since starting the drug.

      It means you have the hepatitis B virus.  If the doctors think you have only recently been infected they may wait a few months to see if your body clears it naturally.  If you have had the virus for a long time you are what they call 'chronic' and you should take mediction to reduce the viral load and minimise the risk of damage to your liver.  HBV can be transmitted by sexual intercourse so your partner should be vaccinated.
