Not discrimination, but cowardice. At present, there are about 654.38+0.2 billion chronic asymptomatic hepatitis B virus carriers and about 30 million chronic hepatitis B patients in China. These people often lose their job opportunities or are discriminated against at work because of hepatitis B. However, according to the relevant laws and regulations of our country, except catering, food, water supply, hotels, kindergartens and other industries, there is no rigid prohibition on the employment of hepatitis B patients and hepatitis B virus carriers. Zhou, a member of Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, submitted a proposal to protect the legitimate rights and interests of hepatitis B virus carriers at the CPPCC meeting last year, calling for providing equal opportunities for survival and development for hepatitis B virus carriers. This proposal has attracted the attention of relevant departments. Doctor: The patient can study and work normally after being cured. Wu Shiwen, director of the Infectious Diseases Department of Shenzhen People's Hospital, said in an interview: At present, some employers confuse hepatitis B virus carriers with chronic hepatitis patients. As long as they see the word "Yang" on the investigation list, they will turn all these job seekers away. It is also unreasonable for them to do so. This is mainly caused by the ignorance of some employers in this regard. According to the revised scheme of Hepatology Branch of Chinese Medical Association, hepatitis B virus carriers have no symptoms and signs of hepatitis, and their liver function tests are normal. Those who have not changed after half a year's observation can work and study as usual except for not donating blood and engaging in direct contact with imported food and conservation work. Patients with acute hepatitis and chronic hepatitis were cured after treatment. When H bsAg turns negative, he can work and study normally except for not donating blood and engaging in direct contact with imported food and conservation. Director Wu said that hepatitis B virus is transmitted through blood (such as blood transfusion) and gene (from mother to baby). Other routes of transmission include accepting blood donation, sexual intercourse (semen and secretions), intravenous drug use (sharing syringes), long-term cohabitation with HBV carriers, sharing towels, toothbrushes, razors and washbasins. People don't have to talk about the discoloration of hepatitis B. As long as we correctly understand and understand the transmission route of hepatitis B and do a good job in personal hygiene and prevention, hepatitis B is not terrible. Director Wu also cited an example, saying that in the eyes of some people, shaking hands, eating and talking with hepatitis B patients at close range are the most susceptible to infection. Actually, it's not. As long as your mouth doesn't fester, you won't be infected even if you kiss a hepatitis B virus carrier. Labor Department: Hepatitis B cannot be used as a reason for dismissal. Yesterday afternoon, the person in charge of Shenzhen Labor Bureau pointed out in an interview that hepatitis B is a relatively common disease. In China, about 654.38 billion people are asymptomatic carriers of hepatitis B virus. This group is very large, and the right to work of these people is indeed an urgent issue. At present, the labor department has no specific regulations on the work of hepatitis B patients. As long as they are not engaged in specific industries such as catering services, these people should not be discriminated against in their work. Some employers are afraid of hepatitis B patients and even hepatitis B virus carriers, mainly because people lack understanding of hepatitis B itself and have a vague social definition of hepatitis B. This requires health and other relevant departments to increase publicity, and at the same time, relevant departments should also clarify the specific scope of work of hepatitis B patients and hepatitis B virus carriers. The labor department in Shenzhen often receives complaints that some hepatitis B patients have been unilaterally terminated by their units. In this regard, the relevant personnel said that if it is a general patient, and can meet the needs of engaging in their own work, and does not engage in certain industries, the employer cannot use hepatitis B as a reason for dismissal. If I really can't work in this post or should not work in this industry after I get sick, the employer must pay the compensation for the termination of the contract to the patient while dissolving the labor relationship, and should give appropriate medical assistance. Zhou, a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), suggested that relevant state departments should formulate policies, regulations and laws to protect the rights and interests of hepatitis B virus carriers, and increase the publicity of relevant popular science so that the public can have a scientific and correct understanding of hepatitis B virus carriers. Company: Miss Wang, who works in a bank in Shenzhen and doesn't want anyone in the company to get hepatitis B, said that as a colleague, she didn't want anyone in the company to get hepatitis B because it would be very dangerous. For colleagues suffering from hepatitis B, the company should let them go home for illness, on the one hand, it is good for them, on the other hand, it also makes other colleagues feel more at ease at work. Manager Zhou of a technology company in Shenzhen told the reporter that hepatitis B is a recognized infectious disease, and general job seekers will not consider it. At present, the company recruits employees in the talent market every year. Once a person is confirmed, the first day of work is a physical examination. If the job seeker has hepatitis B, the company will definitely not sign a contract with him. Everyone knows that hepatitis B is more troublesome to treat. At present, the company is in a period of rising business, and the business volume of each employee is relatively large, so it is difficult for hepatitis B patients to adapt to high-intensity work. At the same time, if the newly recruited employees suffer from hepatitis B, the medical expenses of the employees will also bring a heavy burden to the company in the future. Attachment: A letter from a computer master to the editorial department of this newspaper "Hepatitis B makes me unable to find a job" Editor: I am studying for a master's degree in the computer department of a key university, and my research direction is database. After three years of hard work, I successfully passed my thesis defense this year and obtained my master's degree with excellent results. I am confident to find a good job, serve the society and realize my life value. But in the process of looking for a job, I have repeatedly hit a wall because there is a hateful "roadblock" in front of me-unfortunately, I am a carrier of hepatitis B virus. Looking for a job in various places for a while, the result is always disappointing. Almost all enterprises in Shenzhen do not accept hepatitis B virus carriers. I found it difficult to enter Shenzhen, so I set my sights on Huizhou, my hometown. I saw on the internet that a well-known large enterprise in Huiyang wanted to recruit an information engineer, and the professional requirements coincided with what I had learned, so I signed up. After I submitted my resume, the company informed me to go for an interview soon. After arriving at the company, I passed five interviews. The company agreed to hire me and informed me to go to the hospital for a physical examination the next day. But as soon as the medical examination results came out, the company immediately changed its mind. With the passage of time, I dare not expect to find a satisfactory job, but I am not reconciled. During this time, my family also did their best for me. My parents have retired, and they have been worried about it. They help me get in touch with my work everywhere, especially my father, who often suffers from insomnia. I finally hope my son will graduate from graduate school, but it is extremely difficult to find a job because of this problem. This regulation of enterprises is actually discrimination against HBV carriers, which is neither scientific nor in violation of relevant state regulations. All enterprises claim that their management is people-oriented. Instead of rejecting hepatitis B virus carriers, it is better to pay attention to the health of employees, vaccinate those without antibodies and enhance immunity. If they have this attitude and there are laws to follow, you can reason with them. Anyway, forget it, go your own way and let them talk. There will always be your true love waiting for you ahead. Do not give up! ! !
