Hi everybody, I really need some help. I finished school in May and started my first job in June. During school I took all hepatitis vaccinations. A couple of days ago, during a routine blood check I was diagnosed with a positive antigen Hepatitis B chronic infection. I am not sure if I got it before or after I started my job. The employee handbook I have states that I MUST report this condition to my employer, but I am really afraid of losing my job. Do they have the right to fire me for being infected??? If I don't report it, will the lab report it to the hospital, or they just report to the CDC??? I am very freaked out by this situation and will appreciate any advise. Thank you in advance!
