worried about my brother medical examination for overseas job application

[MURIT MAN]

my brother got hepa B carrier thru blood tranfussion.Hes very healthy and with-out signs of symtoms.the doctor said he was just infected.How can he passed his medical check-up undetected,hes supposed to have a good career but because of this disease he was disriminated,when he just infected by some sort of medical carelessness.Is it true that taking chocolate and fress sugar cane juice before the actual medical examination
will keep it undetected.Kindly give him good advice coz hes losing his hope to give his family a better future.what are the kind of foods to take what are to be avoided like alcohol.why people so cruel discriminating becauce of this sickness.Thanks and God Bless

Man, you that far ahead of me? I took shot 44 friday, and still have 4 more to go.. Feeling pretty good though over all.

I ditto what Cutie said, as you should push for extension of tx. There is a possibility of relapse, and if you have to retreat it would be for 72 weeks fulldose. If I where in your shoes, I'd do it right now while I have 48 already behind me.. Best of luck with whatever you do man.

He won't extend even with the possible Viral breakthrough?  I know you don't want to, neither of us did, but if there is a next time, which I hope there won't, it would have to be even longer...just a thought... which you heard before..

Hepatitis B can be treated.

Most doctors don't know squat about hepatitis. Your brother has to see a liver specialist called a "heptologist." He also should see a lawyer regarding employment issues to find out his legal rights.

Don't know anything about fooling the blood test, but chocolate and sugar cane sound bogus at face value.

Until he's properly evaluated, he should avoid alcohol, recreational drugs, exercise within tolerance, eat a well-balanced diet, and try and stay as close to his ideal weight as possible.

and generally take good care of himself by exercising within tolerance and eating a well-balanced diet.
