HEPATITIS c Virus prevention IN EGYPT
Reducing Transmission by Reducing Exposure


There is NO justification for Egyptians to be tested for HCV for employment.


There is NO justification for Egyptians to be tested for HCV for employment.
There is NO justification for Egyptians to be tested for HCV for travel.
There is NO justification for Egyptians to be tested for HCV for employment in other countries.


There is no scientific, medical, epidemiological evidence for testing people for HCV for employment anywhere or for travel.  This is unjust, unfair, and promotes stigma and hardship for a person infected with HCV and for their family and friends. And this contributes to unemployment in Egypt as well.

There is no justification for a person to divorce, lose their job, or friends because  they have HCV. There is no justification to be tested for HCV when applying for a job. Any job. Testing people for employement is WRONG.

There is no justification for testing an employee: any employee including food service people and medical people.

If you are HCV positive the only person that needs to know this is your doctor and your 
dentist.

Don't forget if you have HCV and are diabetic do share your blood sugar testing equipment ever with anyone. Not your family or friends or anyone.
