Can I stop the medication after the hepatitis B virus turns negative after antiviral treatment?

  After receiving antiviral treatment, often patients will think that they are cured of hepatitis B after their hbv turns negative and stop the medication on their own. As a result, the HBV will rebound in the subsequent review, often accompanied by abnormal liver function! Why?  First of all, I would like to tell you that the so-called virus turn negative is actually only undetectable in the blood with the existing methods, it does not mean that there is no more virus in the blood. At present, different hospitals in China for the detection of HBV reagents are broadly divided into domestic reagents and imported reagents, usually imported reagents are more sensitive and can detect a lower number of viruses. Even so, when HBV is below the detection line, it only means that the virus is not detected in the blood, and there is no guarantee that there is no virus in the blood. In addition, the hepatitis B virus has a template for replication in the body, that is, cccDNA, which is like the root of the virus and is difficult to get rid of, so it is very easy to relapse and aggravate the disease after stopping the medication on your own without achieving a certain course of treatment and a certain treatment effect. Therefore, you should not stop the medication at will, if you have the will to stop the medication, you must go to the hospital to find a specialist to determine, not to stop the medication on your own.
