   Hi okchug, My nursing orientation packet states that titers are required because titers provide proof of immunity vs. immunizations, which do not provide documented immunity. So I don't know if they will accept me when I am clearly not immune to one...

   Hi everyone. I found out I was positive for hep b almost a year ago, but my doctor and I do not know how long I've had it. If I had not tried to donate blood, I would still be clueless today. My boyfriend is the only one I've been with and he is ne...

   My doctor said I am a carrier and it is a chronic condition that has no cure. I am very healthy and have no other problems. I just feel like the program will drop me because I am positive for hepa b and have the risk to spread it to others in the c...
