elson:  If you don't clear the HepB virus and develope surface antibodies in 6 months, you will likely be a chronic HepB carrier for life.  Or unless doctors actually discover a proven cured.  It hasn't happened yet.

pixelpoint:  See above comment.  Every country has its own regulations on HepB and other diseases.  In the USA, it's rare to hear of work restriction being placed on individuals with HepB.  May be different in other places.  If so, not sure how anyone here could help the situation.  Good luck.

my Girlfriend is a nursing student 3rd year, she was tested a year ago being positive and now, she is very much worried if her school will still allow her to continue studying when they know that she is Hepa B (reactive). They will have a mandatory checkup next month. please help.
