or at least catch those that are infected as early as possible?

i have a medical background and hepatitis takes a way smaller amount of virus than hiv to transmit - and it survives longer outside the body.

it doesnt harm to test for hepatitis when you draw blood anyways and over here people have been caught before - and taken off work before they could infect others.

better safe than sorry
