Hello. Welcome to Healthcare Magic. Your email address is not available to me, so I ll address your question here at our forum. Hepatitis B is one of the most common infectious diseases in the world, and it is the most common liver infection worldwide. Most patients with chronic hepatitis B (those who continue to carry the virus in their bodies) do not have any symptoms; indeed, many people with chronic hepatitis B don t even know they re infected. If you have chronic hepatitis B and your liver enzymes are elevated, this is a sign that your liver is being damaged by the virus, and treatment might be indicated. If your liver enzymes are NOT elevated, this suggests your virus is quiescent for the time being. Your doctor will probably want to monitor you every six months or so -- usually with blood tests -- to make sure your virus doesn t reactivate. Now, just because your liver enzymes aren t elevated doesn t mean you re not infectious. You can still pass the virus to other people through sexual contact or exposure to your bodily fluids. Whether or not you re legally obligated to report your status to your employer could be influenced by where you live and what type of occupation you hold. In many locations, you re not required to disclose your health information to prospective employers. I hope that answers your question. Good luck with your new job!
