I would not use the terms "medically unfit", but hbvers may not be suitable for certain medical professions. For example, surgeons often cut themselves during operations, therefore there are guidelines to say whether a hbv surgeons should or should not operate and what precautions must be taken.

Read this article from the Hepatitis B Foundation:

Hepatitis B Discrimination Alive and Well in the United States
Hepatitis B discrimination occurs not only in China but in the United States as well.

Should people with chronic hepatitis B infection be prevented from working in health care? Should they be barred from training in health care professions? The answer to both is no, according to official recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA).
