The term "healthy carrier" seems somewhat confusing...
Does it simply mean
chronic hepatitis w/o symptoms, or LFT abnormality (quiescent state...?)
(But that is not exactly "healthy" becuz he/she will might go through FLARE, or get HCC eventually...isnt it?)
or does it imply some other condition?
Say... a state where all serology is normal, except for HBsAg (+) only....
no risk of HCC .... just mere "keeping" of virus, transmitting to others...
I think this fits more correctly to the definition of "heathy carrier"...
(although i am not sure if that is a possible natural course...)
Thank u in advance...

HBsAg==>acute dis.persistent disease depending on other serological markers
and HBeAg ===>active(symptoms plus infectivity due to rappid mulptiplication of virion)
so if someoen is
HBsAg+ n HBeAg +===>acute and active
so like wise if someone just HBsAg+ but HBeAg - ===>acute but not active==>healthy carrier
chronic if HBsAg + for > 6 months.
hope it helps u.
