[edit] Discrimination
Hepatitis B sufferers in China frequently face discrimination in all aspects of life and work. For example, many Chinese employers and universities refuse to accept anyone who tests positive. Some kindergartens refuse admission to children who are carriers of the virus. The hepatitis problem is a reflection of the vast developmental gap between China's rural and urban areas. The largest problem facing Chinese people infected with the HEP B virus is that illegal blood testing is required by most employers in China. Anyone that tests positive for HEP B is either denied employment or fired. Laws do exist to protect the privacy of employees and job seekers but they are not enforced.


[edit] "In the Hepatitis B Camp"
"In the Hepatitis B Camp" [ [www.hbvhbv.com ] ] is a popular website for hepatitis B carriers' human rights in China. Its online forum is the world's biggest such forum with over 300,000 members. The website was first shut down by the Chinese government in November 2007. Lu Jun, the head of the rights group, managed to reopen the website by moving it to an overseas server, but the authorities in May 2008 began blocking access to the website within China, only 10 days after government officials participated in an event for World Hepatitis Day at the Great Wall of China. An official had told the head of the rights group, Lu Jun, at the time that the closure was due to the Beijing Olympic Games.[14]
