I'm HBV carrier medical student

[hurri87]

Hi i'm an internship doctor in Burma, recently passed medical school.
i'm very much confused about my career coz my dream is going abroad like US after taking USMLE. actually i'm depressed and don't know what to do. i found out about months ago that hospitals in Australia don't employ doctors with HBV or so,whatever, i felt like i'm inferior to others. so can anyone tell me can i be a doctor in US hospitals?? actually i'm great at my studies,i was one of the top 10 students in my medical school.
i can't tell my friends about my virus ,even my girlfriend, it's horrible, i'm depressed now.
i'll be really glad if anyone just reply me, i need moral support from people like me.

my lab results were
HBsAg - reactive
HBeAg - nonreactive
Anti HBe - reactive
Anti HBs - nonreactive
ALT,AST - within normal range
alpha fetoprotein - very low (about 0.03)
Ultrasound - normal
viral count - <500IU/ml (real time PCR)

You are an inactive carrier, you are not too infective at all and you may stay like this all your life.  For security and safety, your girlfriend needs to be tested for HBsAB, if positive then she is safe, if negative she needs to be vaccinated if she is HBsAg negative.

For your career, it depends on what kind of doctor you will be, if one with invasive procedures as part of your practice, the hospital has a reason for concern because of the HBV in you.

Maybe you can consider careers like health care administration that uses your speciality but does not put your patients at any risk.

Best.
