Patient's question:
I have a younger cousin. The last time she was sick and went to the hospital for a thorough examination, it was found that she was an HBV carrier. Since then, she has stayed at home every day. Her family tried to persuade her to find a job, but she said that if the company knew she was an HBV carrier, they would definitely not hire her.Doctor's answer:
A hepatitis B carrier refers to a person who is infected with the hepatitis B virus but does not exhibit symptoms or signs of hepatitis, and whose liver function and other detailed tests are normal. According to current Chinese laws, hepatitis B healthy carriers are eligible to obtain health certificates. The main professions that cannot be engaged in include: being unable to join the military; being unable to become a special police officer; being unable to become a pilot; and being unable to manage blood collection, blood component preparation, blood supply, and other medical workers, as well as the food industry. Other professions are generally permissible. Patients facing the harm of hepatitis B should promptly follow the principle of symptomatic treatment and should not avoid seeking medical attention. If hepatitis B is not cured after treatment, it is important to promptly switch to an alternative treatment plan.
