I would get a second opinion..I am a nurse and know of several patients who contracted Hep B and converted on their own..took about a month for the symptoms to leave then about three more months to convert to developing a immunity to the Hep B..this doesn't mean that everyone who is exposed converts..some may be carriers the rest of their lives..I would still contact the CDC and also another physician for other resources...

First, you have to make sure that your Bachelor of pharmacy is equivalent to a Bachelor of pharmacy taught in USA. And if it is not, then you can't do a master of science in pharmacy at any pharmacy university in USA. You will have to work on your bachelor of pharmacy once again. I dont know if you already know that now it takes a good PharmD degree to start your career. However, there are some universities that may be offering a masters in pharmacy, you should check this out. You can find out more information on it at the Long Island University's website. As far as the job is concerned, you first have to get a proper degree in pharmacy before you can start working. As of now, there are good job opportunities in industrial pharmacy.

At least in Arizona, you can be hired as a pharmacy-tech trainee, I work for Walgreens.com. We trained for the CPhT exam at work, we even got reimbursed for the test when we passed it.  Check with your local pharmacies and see what kind of programs they offer.

No. They can give you medicine to the point where you may not feel symptoms but the hepatitis will always remain in your liver.

There's currently a pharmacist shortage in the US. Starting salaries around 90,000 dollars per year. Dentists are always in need too. You can open your own pharmacy in the US but most pharmacist work for someone else, as the industry is dominated by chain pharmacies. Pharmacists also work in hospitals, clinics, etc.

In truth, the risk of transmission to co-workers or other household members seems to be quite low, and even sexual transmission is rare. The CDC recommends the use of sexual prophylactics by anyone infected with hepatitis C or any other sexually transmissible disease, but common contact is not dangerous. While it should be kept in mind that there is no known mode of transmission for approximately 10% of cases, this should not be taken as a statement that it can be easily casually acquired. Routine precautions around blood, and avoiding the sharing of toothbrushes, razors, and other personal items should provide adequate protection.\n\n\n\nA number of agents can cause hepatitis, including infectious diseases, chemical poisons, drugs and alcohol. Hepatitis C is a contagious viral disease that leads to serious, permanent liver damage, and in many cases, death.\n IV drug users represent the largest single risk group.  Sexual contact has been clearly identified as a means of transmitting hepatitis C.  Household contact with another household member that has hepatitis C has also been strongly implicated, and this, in combination with heterosexual exposure, is believed to be responsible for approximately 13% of all infections.  Around 2% of all cases of hepatitis C are thought to be contracted through the occupational risk (needle-stick injuries, blood spills, etc) involved with the health care profession.\n\nPrisoners have enormous incidence of infection - rates reported in some California prisons exceed 80%, with certain institutions reporting nearly 100% of their prisoners infected.\n\nSome skin piercing practices, notably tattooing, body piercing, and acupuncture, have contributed significantly to the spread of HCV, particularly in less industrialized nations. Tattooing in particular poses a serious risk. Even in the presence of good sterilization, studies have suggested that the ink used in tattooing can become contaminated and transmit the virus.\n\nCocaine users have an abnormally high risk of infection due to the fact that they frequently share snorting straws, which may have small amounts of blood-carrying mucous on them. \n\nLess obvious, specialized risk factors have been identified resulting from indirect exposures to blood - including manicures, shared toothbrushes and razors, and straight razors in barber shops.\n\nIn many surveys, about a third of people who are alcoholics are also infected with the HCV virus.

Hepatitis B is highly sexually transmitted. It is very possible to pass it onto the mother, who could in turn pass it onto the child. There is post exposure medication that could be given, but it would have to be given within a certain time frame.  The mother would have to be tested to see if she has HBV, and then to see if it is chronic, or if it resolved on it's own.  80% of people who become exposed to it clear it on their own. The rest go on to have chronic liver disease and will need treatment.  Treatment can help people clear it, but I'm not sure what the success rate is (I'm more familiar with Hep C statistics). Best wishes.

Hepatitis B can be cured is some cases, resolve on it's own in some cases, becomes an asymptomatic carrier of the virus in some cases, or become a serious chronic disease with the potential of causing liver cancer. Only a physician can run the blood tests that will tell you what your situation might be. Here is a good CDC link for basic info.\n\nhttp://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/diseases/hepatitis/b/faqb.htm

In addition to getting a work visa (which you can get through an employer), you also need to pass an exam/test before you can practice medicine in the US. I don't know what the requirements for this exam and if this involves some form of internship.\n\nI'm sure that a hospital that is willing to sponsor you can tell you what the requirements are to be able to practice medicine in the US.

Get in touch with the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy:\nhttp://www.nabp.net/index.asp?target=/lictransfer/intro.asp&\n\nThey can tell you if you are eligible for licensure.\n\nIf not, one possibility is to see if you can transfer your license to a country or provence that is recognized by the United States.  Don't know if Puerto Rico would work.\n\nIf none of these work you would probably have to go through the pharmacy program here.\n\nIf you have to go through the pharmacy program here, check and see if the pharmacy school will accept some courses towards the basics. If they won't, check and see if a school such as Excelsior will recognize your credits.\nhttps://www.excelsior.edu/portal/page?_pageid=57,1&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL\n\nIt all depends on how badly you want to practice pharmacy in this country.  Wish you luck

The U.S. PharmD takes two years of undergraduate study and four years of professional study.\nIt is very hard for non permament residents or non citizens to be accepted into colleges of pharmacy.  \nThe bachelors of pharmacy does not meet the minimum requirements to take the licensing exams.  The foreign pharmacists licensing exam is extremely hard.
