Hepatitis B?

Question

My husband is positive "Hepatitis B core antibody" and all the other hepatitis B tests are negative, two months ago also he was having the same result.
Six months ago he was all negative.
I also tested my self it came all negative.
He is not having any health complications and he didn't have any troubles for the last three years.
Doctor told him you don't have to take any treatment; have sex with your wife without protection!!!!
My questions are:
1- Is the viruses still a live in his liver?
2-what is the chance to transfer the virus to me.
3- What is the likelihood for the virus to start active again?
4- Do you suggest any medicine for him at this stage?
5- Is the "Hepatitis B core antibody" test required for immigration or they are asking for the "Hepatitis surface antigen" test only

1. Hepatitis (HEP-ah-TY-tis) makes your liver swell and stops it from working right.
You need a healthy liver. The liver does many things to keep you alive. The liver fights infections and stops bleeding. It removes drugs and other poisons from your blood. The liver also stores energy for when you need it.
2. You could get hepatitis B by:
a. having sex with an infected person without using a condom
b. sharing drug needles
c. having a tattoo or body piercing done with dirty tools that were used on someone else
d. getting pricked with a needle that has infected blood on it (health care workers can get hepatitis B this way)
e. living with someone who has hepatitis B
f. sharing a toothbrush or razor with an infected person
g. traveling to countries where hepatitis B is common
h. An infected woman can give hepatitis B to her baby at birth.
3. Hepatitis B can make you feel like you have the flu.
You might feel tired, feel sick to your stomach, have a fever, not want to eat, have stomach pain, have diarrhea
Some people have, dark yellow urine, light-colored stools, yellowish eyes and skin.
4. Treatment for hepatitis B may involve:
a. A drug called interferon (in-ter-FEAR-on). It is given through shots. Most people are treated for 4 months.
b. A drug called lamivudine (la-MIV-you-deen). You take it by mouth once a day. Treatment is usually for one year.

I had Hepatitis B years ago. First husband gave it to me. We both tested negative 6 months later. We are both now re-married and new spouses never have got it. His new wife is pregnant. Everyone is still negative.
