The US takes a strong stand on anti-discrimination--being a carrier for Hep does not preclude you from employment ANYWHERE in the US. Your condition does not endanger anyone as long as you practice universal precautions--which any good nurse does anyhow. You do not have to be hep B negative to work in a health care setting in the US.

I work with a couple of nurses who are hep B and/or hep C positive. Nothing different is done for them than any other nurse. They have no restrictions. We would not even know that they were positive, except they (the nurses themselves) chose to share that information with us.

What is the difference between chronic hepatitis b and carrier of hepatitis B?

Chronic hepatitis B refers to a long-term infection with the hepatitis B virus that can lead to liver inflammation and potentially serious complications such as cirrhosis or liver cancer. A carrier of hepatitis B, on the other hand, typically refers to a person who has the virus in their blood but does not exhibit symptoms or have active liver disease. Carriers can still transmit the virus to others, whereas chronic hepatitis B patients often require medical management to prevent disease progression.

Can coitus transmit Hepatitis B between partners if one is carrier?

Absolutely. Hepatitis B is transmitted by blood and body fluids. Sexual contact is one of the common ways to spread it. Sexual activity, sharing of drug paraphenalia, and congenital infection (when an infant acquires it from his/her infected mother) are the most common ways to spread the disease. Still, roughly 1/3 of the cases cannot be traced back to any of these causes. If someone is a hepatitis B carrier, he/she is contagious, even though he/she is not currently suffering from the illness. So yes, coitus can transmit hepatits B between partners if one of them is a carrier.


How does hepatitis start?

Hepatitis, all kinds, A, B, C and so on are viruses. They start from blood to blood contact with an infected carrier of the virus. Some viruses are much more virulent than others. You can recover nicely from Hepatitis A for instance, with treatment and even get vaccinated for Hepatitis A & B now but not C and above. They are forever although there are treatments there are as yet no 'cures'
