Human Resources and Social Security Minister Yin Weimin has admitted that some of hepatitis B virus carriers in employment has indeed experienced some difficulties and problems.

Hepatitis B virus carriers in China is a very large group, more than 100 million people. Not only to employment, even go to school, making friends and so often discriminated against.

Recently, the China Youth Daily conducted a survey, the results interesting: Only 6.9% of people admit that their own existence hepatitis B discrimination; there are more than 1 / 3 of people made it clear that "unwilling" and the hepatitis B virus carriers in a total of meal.

This shows the public the existence of discrimination against hepatitis B contradictions knowing - knowing that should not be discriminated against, but difficult to put into practice.

Discrimination is rooted in ignorance. Because hepatitis B knowledge and propaganda is weak, many people lack sufficient spread of hepatitis B knowledge, they talk about "Hepatitis B" discoloration, avoid and distance,.

This discrimination against very large, resulting in a large group is not being treated fairly, schools do not accept, the unit will not, friends do not pay, love fragmentation, loss of equality to education, employment, social, marriage rights, or even social division and alienation between groups.

In fact, China has almost 40% of the hepatitis B virus carriers is through mother to child transmission. Sexual contact, to accept unsafe injections and medical practices, which also contributed to the spread of hepatitis B an important reason. These routes of transmission are blood contact or exposure. With hepatitis B virus carriers in their daily work and life in a general engagement will not be infected.

HBV infection mainly by cutting off a shot. After the injections, as long as the body of the antibodies, they can play a preventive role. Experts said, few people injected also infected with hepatitis B after hepatitis B vaccine.

Elimination of hepatitis B discrimination, universal medical knowledge is the foundation. In the public propaganda, very little information about hepatitis B, and AIDS awareness compared to the intensity appears to be very weak. The public about the treatment of hepatitis B, hepatitis B prevention and on behalf of the Jade Ribbon little understanding of. The health sector should, as popular as AIDS knowledge, vigorously popularize the knowledge of hepatitis B, hepatitis B virus carriers in the normal to create a favorable social environment for social networking.

Elimination of hepatitis B discrimination, the relevant policies and regulations is fundamental. Necessary to promptly adjust the unequal and unreasonable policies and regulations. In recent years, in the relevant laws and regulations, health, education, human resources and social security departments have been asked not discriminate against hepatitis B virus carriers. All this will be the elimination of discrimination of hepatitis B have a fundamental guide. The problem is that these policies and regulations must be strictly enforced; for non-actors, must be promptly corrected, or even investigated and dealt with according to regulations.

Elimination of hepatitis B discrimination, in the final analysis, but also implemented in each one of us in action.
