It's a very dangerous liver disease that is caused by a virus. There is no vaccine and there is no easy or 100% effective cure for it. Most people who suffer from it got it from contact with an infected person's body fluids. This usually occurs either through sexual contact or sharing needles used to inject recreational drugs like heroin, or accidental infection in a medical setting (needle stick).

It is wrong to suggest that there is no cure for Hepc! With advances in medicine there is at least a 50% chance of ridding the liver of this virus. There are some geno types that are harder to cure such as geno type 1. However, geno type 1 has a new treament that is very promising by 2009.

I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www .ultimatelifeclinic. com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.

The US takes a strong stand on anti-discrimination--being a carrier for Hep does not preclude you from employment ANYWHERE in the US.

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.
