Can hepatitis B carriers work as childcare workers?

Patient's question:

I would like to ask, I am an HBV carrier, can I work as a caregiver in a kindergarten?

Doctor's answer:

You mentioned the situation, and I would like to ask: I am a carrier of the hepatitis B virus. How can I work in a kindergarten as a caregiver? According to your test results, if the liver function tests, hepatitis B viral DNA quantification, and ultrasound show elevated transaminase levels and a decrease in hepatitis B viral DNA quantification, you cannot work in a kindergarten. For patients, if the hepatitis B condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication are necessary. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of hepatitis B. Additionally, patients need to pay attention to their diet and psychological care. I hope the answers to these questions can help everyone. Thank you.
