Hello, Thanks for using HEalthcare magic..i had gone through all the details posted.
just because you are Hep B reactive you will not become unfit for job. There are medications for Hep B which will help you to lead near normal life.

we need blood tests like HBV DNA, HBeAG, liver function tests to determine whether you need treatment for Hep B or not.

Everyone with Hep B dont need treatment. We have to look at the above reports to decide whether you need treatment or regular periodic monitoring is essential.

Kindly do those tests and consult a medical gastroenterologist or general physician..

Hope this helps..
