My husband is being treated for Hep C. Due to the side effects and the nature of his work, he has been at off work for approx 2.5 months. Now his company want him to see the Occupational Health Dr. The hospital and GP agree that he cannot return to work yet. He has no problem having the referral and seeing the Occ. Dr. He has not told work that he has Hep C, but Liver Impairment. The nurse specialist can supply a letter confirming Liver Impairment.
What we want to know, does he have to disclose his Hep C and if so does the Occ. Dr. have to tell his employer. He has already met with stigma, which was not nice, so he does not want it again.
Thanks for any help that can be given.
