 Sounds like you already beat the infection. However you need to do a HBV DNA to make sure that there is no circulating virus. Just the presence of Surface antigen does not mean that you are infectious! Also employers cant discriminate against you unless you have transmitted the virus professionally. DTD | ||||||||
