On September 11, Kevin got the first health certificate for hepatitis B virus carriers in our province.

"I have no intention to engage in the catering industry at all", and Kevin (pseudonym), a hepatitis B virus carrier, said with the health certificate yesterday, "But this is my right, and I must fight for it." On September 1, Kevin, who works in Xi 'an, got the first health certificate of hepatitis B virus carrier in our province (catering) after Lei Chuang, a hepatitis B virus carrier, got the first health certificate in China.

The word "catering" is filled in the column of the health certificate, which indicates that Kevin, a hepatitis B virus carrier, can work in catering. "This means that the biggest barrier to the employment of hepatitis B virus carriers has been lifted," Kevin said. "I hope this can eliminate the prejudice against hepatitis B virus carriers in society."

Kevin's application for a health certificate was inspired by Zhejiang Leichuang. "I swear I will never stop until I get a health certificate." Kevin said. After collecting calls from the Ministry of Health, Shaanxi Provincial Health Department and relevant departments in the province, Kevin consulted one by one, and the staff of the Ministry of Health replied: "There is no need to issue special documents. All localities should implement them in accordance with the newly issued Regulations on the Implementation of the Food Safety Law. If they don't act, contact us again." This gave Kevin great confidence.

At 11: 11 am on September 11, Kevin came to the Shaanxi Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention to apply for a health certificate, and paid 51 yuan's medical examination fee, two photos, followed by a medical examination, and there were also procedures such as blood drawing. Kevin, who came to apply for a health certificate for the first time, didn't know how to check the hepatitis B project. As a carrier of hepatitis B virus, he waited for the notice of passing the medical examination the next day.

at 4 pm on September 11, Kevin got the health certificate (catering). This is the first health certificate obtained by hepatitis B virus carriers in our province. "I may invest in the catering industry in the future, but to be honest, I don't think I will engage in catering work such as chefs in my life." Kevin, who graduated from a university majoring in business English and now runs a business in a company, said that he may not need this health certificate now or in the future. "This doesn't mean that I don't have the right to obtain a health certificate. Whether it is one thing or not is another."

Love story

"I am a carrier, please think carefully before you reply"

Kevin is a transliteration of the screen name kevin5111years. Like most hepatitis B virus carriers, Kevin doesn't want to face the camera directly and doesn't want his real name to appear-in the current social environment, it is difficult for hepatitis B virus carriers not to be discriminated against, and he doesn't want his work and life to be unnecessarily affected.

Kevin, a 25-year-old from Heilongjiang, stayed in Xi 'an for development after graduating from a university in Xi 'an. His height of 1.83 meters and handsome appearance made the young man look tall and sunny. "When I first learned that I was a hepatitis B virus carrier during the college entrance examination, I felt that the sky was falling," Kevin said. "I could only force myself to stop thinking about it in the following days, and my mentality was not good." Carrying the heavy burden of "hepatitis B virus carrier", Kevin graduated. He is faced with two major events: work and family.

Business English major, good appearance and male, all of which give Kevin a good foundation for development in the hotel industry. "If I work in the hotel industry, I should have a bright future." Kevin said that there were several good opportunities in front of him at the same time. Some interviews were passed and he gave them up. "I won't find someone to check for me. If a unit with good benefits, large scale and promising development doesn't want hepatitis B virus carriers, I would rather go to a unit that doesn't require whether it is a hepatitis B virus carrier, even if the unit is smaller and the future is worse." Kevin said that now he is a salesman in the company, and he may invest in a smaller hotel in the future. It seems that the health certificate is not needed.

When he was about to graduate, Kevin fell in love and found himself in love with a girl. The girl was also kind to himself. Kevin made a big decision before deciding on the relationship. Perhaps it was too embarrassing to say such a thing face to face. Kevin chose to tell the girl by phone, "I am a carrier of hepatitis B virus. Please give me a reply after careful consideration." Kevin also reminded girls that they can check the real situation of hepatitis B online and don't let prejudice kill them.

Kevin's frankness didn't kill the love in the cradle. After determining the relationship, the first thing Kevin did was to let his girlfriend get the hepatitis B vaccine.

The latest news

The provincial CDC has not checked hepatitis B on September 2

Zhao Wenmin, chief of the physical examination department of the provincial CDC, has a calendar on his desk. On September 2 nd, it was circled by ink and pen, and it was marked next to it: Cancel the hepatitis B physical examination project.

"Since September 2nd, we have cancelled the examination items of hepatitis B and added the items of hepatitis A and hepatitis E." He said, "Hotel cleaners and shoe sellers in shopping malls must have health certificates before they can take up their posts. Why can't HBV carriers do these jobs?" Zhao Wenmin said, "Similar situations are often encountered in practical work, which can be said to deprive people with hepatitis B virus of their labor rights to a great extent." However, before the "Regulations on the Implementation of the Food Safety Law" was promulgated, hepatitis B virus carriers could not apply for health certificates.

After the cancellation of the hepatitis B examination, there is only one change in the "Health Checklist for Employees" of the Physical Examination Department of the Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention: in the previous laboratory examination, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) should be checked for liver function, and hepatitis E antigen has changed to alanine aminotransferase (ALT), hepatitis A antigen and hepatitis E antigen in the current blood examination. "We don't charge a license fee, and 51 yuan is a medical examination fee." Zhao Wenmin said that after changing the examination items, the cost of single hepatitis A reagent will increase to 15 yuan/person. At present, they mainly handle it on a pilot basis, and the medical examination fee will not be adjusted for the time being, and may be adjusted appropriately according to the situation in the future.

Zhao Wenmin reminded that at present, the health certificate does not check hepatitis B, but hepatitis B virus carriers should pay attention to themselves. First, check whether the liver function is normal frequently; The second is to combine work and rest, and try to avoid doing some heavy physical work when the liver function is not good, so as not to increase the burden on the liver and cause patients.

At present, only the Shaanxi Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has lifted the ban on hepatitis B in our province, but the CDC in Xi 'an and the CDC departments in all districts have not cancelled the hepatitis B inspection items. The staff of the first-level disease control department in Xi 'an, who asked not to be named, said that the relevant departments in Xi 'an are currently reporting and actively applying for cancellation of the health certificate hepatitis B inspection project. For hepatitis B virus carriers, it is expected that the project of running a health certificate without checking hepatitis B will be completely lifted in the near future.

reactions from all sides

"B-person" rejoices with employers to wait and see

"B-person" is a self-proclaimed hepatitis B virus carrier. After the promulgation of the "Regulations on the Implementation of the Food Safety Law", "B people" cheered and many employers waited and saw.

Li Gang (a pseudonym) is an honorary netizen of the rights protection version of the famous hepatitis B website "Liver and gallbladder care network". In his view, hepatitis B virus carriers can "lift the ban" in the catering industry, and the symbolic significance is far greater than the actual significance. "For most B people, they don't necessarily need a health certificate," Li Gang said. "What everyone cares more about is the right to get a health certificate and whether the discrimination against hepatitis B in society will be reduced or even disappeared." "As long as we have a health certificate, we all let them go to work." Mention that hepatitis B virus carriers can apply for health certificates. A restaurant owner surnamed Li on Huzhu Road in the eastern suburb of Xi 'an said, "Since the state allows hepatitis B virus carriers to apply for health certificates, it will certainly not affect food safety. A health certificate means health and will not spread diseases. " "If I want to use a nanny at home, I must check for hepatitis B." Luo Mei, a college teacher in the southern suburbs, said, "Even if she has a health certificate, I hope I can check it with my nanny." Luo Mei said that she doesn't know much about hepatitis B, but her point of view is that it is best to apply for health certificates differently for normal people and hepatitis B virus carriers, such as certificate A and certificate B. "I have never understood why hepatitis B virus carriers can't clean hotels." Chen Yiqiang, the business director of a cleaning company in the southern suburbs, said, "Can sweeping the floor still infect people?" Chen Yiqiang believes that such people should be treated equally and allowed to apply for health certificates.

Warm reminder

Hepatitis B is not contagious in daily contact

There are more than 21 million hepatitis B virus carriers in China, mainly due to blood transmission caused by not using disposable syringes and not strictly donating blood before 1991s. Secondly, there was no mother-to-child blocking technology before, which also led to some mother-to-child transmission.

There are about 3.7 million HBV carriers in our province

At present, there are about 3.7 million HBV carriers in our province. Strictly speaking, hepatitis B virus carriers are not patients. Most carriers just carry the virus all their lives and will never get sick. Compared with infectious diseases such as hepatitis A and hepatitis E, hepatitis B virus is transmitted through blood, semen, mother and baby, etc. Hepatitis B is not an infectious disease of respiratory tract and digestive tract, and it will not be transmitted through daily contact. If you are engaged in the food industry, patients with hepatitis A and hepatitis E who have not washed their hands are prone to food infection, while hepatitis B virus carriers are not.

From birth, going to school, going to college, going to graduate school, getting employment, falling in love, marriage and family ... For "Party B", every step of life is accompanied by hepatitis B, and the life of "Party B" is miserable. In 2114, Zhou Yichao, a fresh graduate of Zhejiang University, was rejected because he found Xiao Sanyang in the civil service examination, even though he passed the written test and was among the best. In the end, he slashed and killed two cadres in the personnel department, surrendered himself and was executed. Subsequently, the relevant departments adjusted the medical examination methods for civil servants when they were admitted. As long as the liver function of hepatitis B virus carriers is normal, they can be regarded as qualified.

Zhejiang takes the lead in issuing a health certificate for "Party B"

Article 34 of the discussion draft of the Food Safety Law, which was implemented on June 1, 2119, stipulates that "food producers, sellers and catering service providers shall establish and implement a health management system for employees. People suffering from digestive tract infectious diseases such as dysentery, typhoid fever and viral hepatitis (including pathogen carriers), active tuberculosis, suppurative or exudative skin diseases are not allowed to engage in direct food contact. "

Article 23 of the Regulations for the Implementation of the Food Safety Law promulgated on July 21, 2119 stipulates that "food producers and business operators should adjust their employees who are exposed to direct food to other jobs that do not affect food safety if they suffer from digestive tract infectious diseases such as dysentery, typhoid fever, viral hepatitis A and viral hepatitis E, and diseases that hinder food safety such as active tuberculosis, suppurative or exudative dermatosis." The biggest difference between the two is to confirm that hepatitis B virus carriers are not digestive tract diseases and can engage in food industry. After the promulgation of the Regulations on the Implementation of the Food Safety Law, the Health Department of Zhejiang Province took the lead in stating that hepatitis B virus carriers can apply for a health certificate for the catering industry.
