Hi

That's a really good question.....I think it's more about you getting infections.....

You won't be more prone to giving infections to others.....

Your consultant will advise you best on this.....

Here's a website that might help too.....

All the best

When I had my transplant in 2016 another guy on the hospital ward asked a similar question about returning to work. He was told that only 2 people had ever been advised to change jobs; a professional rugby player and someone who worked with hazardous materials. Cuts and infections would be your major risk so I would discuss this with your transplant team.
