Do you take any anti-HBV drugs (like tenofovir or entecavir)?
Not yet on treatment. Doc said lab results don’t warrant that I begin treatment

It seems that it’s not so severe anymore since I’ve started taking TAF.

Good article to read. My husband just started his antivirals and he is still jaundice and cannot stop itching! I have been buying him Cortizone10 cream to help. Does anyone know how long the itching may last?
