Patient's question:
I am a fresh graduate from Normal University and was assigned to an elementary school this year as a Chinese language teacher. During the health check-up, it was found that I am a carrier of the hepatitis B virus. It might have been contracted during my school years when I often ate dinner outside. I don't want to lose this job opportunity.Doctor's answer:
Regarding the regulation that permits hepatitis B carriers to become primary school teachers, Academician Zhuang Hui explicitly expressed his support for it. Even if a primary school teacher is a hepatitis B carrier, it is impossible for them to spread the hepatitis B virus through blood, mother-to-child transmission, or sexual contact, and they would pose no threat to children in the school. Additionally, during the treatment of hepatitis B, the patient's dietary condition and care are also crucial. Patients must pay close attention to their diet, eat more light foods, and avoid unnecessary harm. It is hoped that the above answers can assist you.
