Patient’s Story
Opening statement: Hi doctor, I’ve just started a new job and had to fill out a medical form, I noticed Hepatitis C is still on my records. I would like this to be removed from my records.
You are Raj Patel, a 48-year-old gay man. You were diagnosed with Hepatitis C and treated successfully with antiviral medication 7 years ago. At the time, you were under the care of a hospital specialist, but you moved to Dubai to work as a real estate developer and missed some of your follow-up appointments.
You have recently returned to the UK and have just started a new job as a restaurant manager. As part of your employment, you were asked to fill out a medical history form, which made you concerned about Hepatitis C still being listed on your medical record and whether this might affect your job.
You feel completely well, have no symptoms, and have not noticed any health issues.
Social History: You do not smoke, drink alcohol, or use recreational drugs. You live alone, but you’ve recently started a new relationship with a man.
Ideas: You believe that since your Hepatitis C was treated years ago and you’ve had no symptoms since, it should no longer be listed on your medical records.
Concerns: You’re worried that having Hepatitis C recorded in your medical history might impact your ability to work, particularly in your new role in the restaurant industry.
Expectations: You want to know if the Hepatitis C entry can be removed from your medical records now that you’ve been treated.
Questions for the Doctor:
You’ve just started a new relationship and want to know if it’s safe to have unprotected sex now
If it turns out that Hepatitis C is still present, will that prevent you from working as a restaurant manager?
