Hepatitis B Positive. Pls suggest!

Hi, My husband is HBV positive. We had done all the tests and the results are good except HBV quantitative viral load. LFT is normal, HBeAg and anti Hbe is also fine. Fibroscan value is 7.2 and viral load is around 17500.As per Gastroenterologist, everything is fine but need immediate treatment for viral load.So he suggested Tenvir-af tablets for one month and then asked to do all the tests again for a follow up.As the consultation was online, we decided to take offline consultation from another doctor.Now as per him, there is no need of any medication at this age. Just asked to do all the tests once in a year to check the condition.As per the second doctor the viral load value which is around 17500 is okay as well, just suggested to live a healthy lifestyle.He said if you take medications now, then it will become a habit to your body and you will have to take the whole life then as your body will be used to it and just by reducing the viral load nothing is going to happen. Pls suggest
