Re: Nurses with Hepatitis B in the Philippines?

Im also infected with HepB. I just found out when I got pregnant. I dont know where I got this because Im so sure I didnt have it at nursing school and when I started to work. I got tested when I was pregnant
My OB had to request for the test twice just to be sure and it was still positive but the titer was a thousand lower than the first. What does it mean?

We can't offer medical advise as per terms of service, you really need to discuss this with your doctor

Re: Nurses with Hepatitis B in the Philippines?

im really feel disappointed when i stop nursing because of hepatitis b virus replicative phase..i am nearly close enough to my goal (3rd year). its already 3 years past but i am not afford to accept my situation, im dying to become a registered nurse , to work abroad and to help other children to reach their dreams..but what i am experiencing today is a nightmare,,i am hoping for a cure for our virus..because i believe that someday, oe of us will all get cured,
...please reach me if one of you get lucky(cured)

Re: Nurses with Hepatitis B in the Philippines?

hellow there..it's been a while since i visited this site bcoz of too much work..i'm scheduled for embassy interview and as you all know, i'm a hep b healthy carrier, got it i guess from my mom. nwei, i'm praying that the medical will be ok but i'll see my doctor here beforehand to check for whatever we can do about my case. you can as well request for dna test to check if your type of hep B is infectious or it's not replicating.not everyone can be treated and its not always a guarantee that treatment will erase all those hap b virus in our system. you will be only subjected for treatment if the hep B you have is replicating..i really pray not only for me bt for all of us who have this illness. Let this illness not be hindrance to our pursuit of working abroad'..i'll update you guys regarding my results'..pray for me,thank you so much!

How have you guys been? Any luck?

My friend is also in the same situation. She got very discouraged when she found out, she stopped working because of that...

Hope there's still hope...

any news?

Re: Nurses with Hepatitis B in the Philippines?

hi everyone! i passed the interview already, as expected, my medical got pending and was asked to submit a certification from my doctor. i forwarded the med cert to my employer but somehow, didn't get a clear reply from them although they emailed me for flight details. I'm preparing to travel yet i'm not sure if it's ok already'...i continue to pray that they got the med cert already because when they replied, they're already scheduling for flights..There's hope guys, keep your prayers present and your faith strong'..God bless!
