Hep b

[Sitasekhar]

Hi all,

I am from India. I am an acute level hep B patient, with no liver infections and the virus load is very low. Is it create any issue for my medical test for Canada PR? Please advice

Let me tell you that Hepatitis B is a viral INFECTION of your LIVER. So you do have a liver infection. I do not know what you mean by Acute Level Hep B patient. And yes I think you could be easily deemed inadmissible for medical reasons.

Do u know any persons having similar casehistory

These statements are incorrect. If you don’t have chronic infection you should be fine. If you were in an acute phase Canada usually requires you to get treatment For 6 months usually and can be refused/accepted after that. All depends on your blood results but if your viral load is very low with no liver damage you are fine.

Thanks for your reply Sir.
Is this applicable to a Nurse professional also??

That's not right, nothing I said is false.
Hepatitis B, is by definition a viral infection of the liver, hence it's name. This infection can follow an Acute or Chronic course (there is no such thing as an acute level hep B).

Inadmissibility is of course a possibility, I never said it was for sure. You'd have to first perform various test including an hepatic profile as well as Viral antigens and antibodies to stablish the type of infection. (Acute va Chronic vs Past).

So yes, even if you might not be deemed inadmissible this will surely delay your application. However, if your infection is active I'm sure you won't be allowed in because of the potential risk of transmission to other people. If you had an acute infection and you're cured that's a different story.

With a low viral load doctors wouldn’t consider that the liver is infected at this point. Also the chances of being inadmissible are low in him/her case.

Will depend on your viral load. If minimal levels you are at low risk of transmission so should be fine.
