Re-Posting for "buddy101"

I make it a personal rule to respond on the forum.  Also, please start your own thread with an original question / comment.  Below is a copy of the message you sent:

Hello!I've bee reading this forum for a while trying to look for answers on some of my questions. I'm a nurse and found out infected of hepa B last 2002 during our college screening test. I went to an infectious disease specialist and here were my results:

2002:
HBsAg - positive
Anti-HBc IgM - positive
HBe Antigen - positive
Anti-HBc - positive
SGPT - 328

My doctor said that it might be an acute infection that might get resolved on its own without treatment. He prescribed me with Essentiale for a month. I went back 2 years after for check-up and a few times after, here are the results:

2004:
HBsAg - positive
Anti-HBs - negative
SGPT 34.38

2007:
HBsAG - reactive
Anti-HBs - nonreactive
HBeAg - negative (0.190)
SGPT - 17

2009:
HBsAg - positive (1225)
Anti-HBs - negative (2.00)
HBeAg - negative (0.088)
SGPT - 16

He diagnosed me as chronic carrier not highly infectious with no obvious signs of liver damage and cleared me to be physically fit. I'm worried because my medical got pending. I do hope my doctor's clearance is enough for my employer to qualify me for a job abroad. Please help me. I asked my doctor if i can have the HBV DNA test but he told me i might have it in the US coz he's confident that my hep B status will not a big problem. However, it still worries me until now. Please do help me.Thank you!

Hello! Thank you. I told my employer about my status and attached my medical certificate as well. She somehow didn't comment on my medical condition but asked me about flight details. I'm a bit worried still but i continue to pray that if they read it for sure and still sent me the flight details, i hope they're ok with my condition. Somehow, i think it's the assurance that i need to hear from others that it will be fine. I just continue to pray that it will. Thanks so much for replying. I'll still visit this forum, it's nice to know i'm not alone in this battle..tnx!

What your doctor tell you is accurate.

It's hard to comment on "abroad" jobs since different places have different rules.  I don't know how we could help you with this process.  It's certainly not in our control.
