美国在入职是没有乙肝歧视的。只是在入学，对学习临床医学和牙医两专业，对乙肝做出限制。但是在2013年3月，美国司法部击垮乙肝歧视的最后一根稻草。乙肝学生可以无限制的就读此两个专业。从此，美国实现了乙肝0歧视。

U.S. Dept. of Justice Strikes Down HBV Discrimination

The Hepatitis B Foundation is proud to have played a key role in the important decision that the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) made in making HBV-related discrimination an ADA violation. This is an historic and enormous advocacy success for those living with hepatitis B.

"The DOJ reached a settlement with the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey School (UMDNJ) under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The settlement resolves complaints that the UMDNJ School of Medicine and the UMDNJ School of Osteopathic Medicine unlawfully excluded applicants because they have hepatitis B. This is the first ADA settlement ever reached by the Justice Department on behalf of people with hepatitis B." Read the DOJ News Release

The two Asian American students involved in this settlement turned to the Hepatitis B Foundation for help, within one month of each other in 2011. When we learned that they had been told they could not start medical school, after having been accepted and moved to New Jersey, because they tested positive for hepatitis B during a routine physical examination, we responded immediately by reaching out to the CDC and then later to the DOJ with the assistance of Ms. Nadine Shiroma, a public policy professional.

These actions resulted in the CDC updating its recommendations for HBV-infected health care workers and students to state clearly that hepatitis B should not prevent someone from pursuing a career in health care that were published in July 2012. Now that the DOJ's settlement has set a legal precedent for addressing HBV-related discrimination as an ADA violation, there is even more protection for those living with hepatitis B.

"The DOJ settlement also calls for UMDNJ to adopt a disability rights policy based on the CDC's updated hepatitis B recommendations and provide ADA training for its employees. Given that the UMDNJ system includes eight schools on five regional campuses, the DOJ findings will not go unnoticed among medical, dental, and other professional health education institutions," noted Ms. Shiroma.

For more background on this story, read the Hepatitis B Foundation's B Informed newsletter (Spring 2012).

美国普通职业是不允许检查HBV的。曾经只有临床医学和牙医要检查，但是现在这两个也不允许检查了。

美国的乙肝歧视是一根稻草，我们中国的乙肝歧视应该比稻草粗壮许多吧。那是什么呢？参天大树？

什么时候咱天朝也能这样子就好了，我们乙族才是真的轻松自由了，再不用担心被歧视了，也可以大大方方的学习，生活，工作了，希望20年内能够实现，上帝保佑我们
