Welcome to Chat Doctor. I am Chat Doctor. My dear friend, it's very nice that your sibling and your husband is Bag negative. Now you need to further evaluate to rule out that it is active or inactive by doing further blood test including SGPT, GOT and Hepatitis B viral markers - Head and anti He. You need regular and proper follow up by every 6-12 months intervals with transaminase, as fluctuations in ALT and HBV DNA levels are common during the course of chronic HBV infection. Until reports come, no treatment is required, and further management will according to your investigation reports. Protected intercourse should be practiced until partner has developed protective antibodies. Eventual offspring needs active and passive vaccination. Avoid alcohol. Keep in touch. Thanx.
