But Hep C is not contagious if it's not active...Crigger's idea is a good one, there must be a standard list of things they check for...get all your information and facts first before you panick...you may be worrying for nothing :).
Yes i m sure. We hav received the forms where all the tests are mentioned includin TB, HEP B,C and HIV.
Is Hep C something that they would check on routine basis for employment. I know here they check for TB for employment but that is because it is so contagious . Is there some kind of employment commission you could call and ask are do you know for sure they check that.
Yes, from India. We have applyed for Jobs in States and are awaiting for our applications. However once we receive job application, we will need to do all medical tests. Every possible test. and its clearly mentioned any contigious disease and the contract will be terminated.
Future will be ruined on basis of just antibodies reactive!
Thats sad :( But i really hope when there is medical test, they dont judge on the basis of HEP C REACTIVE, there should be further tests.
I have been reading everyones post and i dont understand genotype, what is it? Is it the cut off rate?
For chronis Hep C, what is usally the cut off rate?! is Cut off rate 2-4 normal or somethin to be worried about?
Maybe you can ask a doctor for anote or something? You are from India? they really check your medical records when you want to get a job over there? it's not like that in the U.S., your medical records are private, and they can't discriminate against things like hep C status, they just need to make sure you can physically do your job.
