I guess you did that research on your own. I sent you a PM. Btw, have you heard of Baraclude? It's a new drug for us. But I doubt if it's already available in the Philippines. This Filipino nurse you are rferring to, did he acquire the disease in the Philippines or in the states? Let's just hope our liver enzymes are all normal by the tme we show up for the medical exams. God bless.

Hi, guys. I need your advice. I am an RN from the Philippines and unfortunately, positive for HBsAg (Hepatitis B carrier, low infectivity). I went to a specialist and yearly liver function tests were recommended. Apart from that, nothing else. I already checked out CDC and immigration guidelines, Hepatitis B is not included in the list of diseases considered as grounds for inadmissibility for immigration(http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dq/health.htm). However, one would have to have the required vaccinations (HepaB included) when applying for immigration. Are US hospitals open to hiring nurses with Hepa B? If so, what states do you recommend?Thanks.
