For adnanmzfr:

Be careful, HepC is transmitted exactely like HIV!

They test:

- HepA,B,C

- HIV

- Tubercolosis

If you had HepC in the past, even if you got treated and you're healthy now, it will always show in your blood tests. Usually when a Hep A,B,C test turns out positive, they retest it again to see if the infection is present now or if it occurred in the past. If it occurred in the past, then you shouldn't have any problems...

For sure that's your case, as there are no vaccines against HepC.

In the test mentioned only hepititus B, tuberclosis and Aids are there for which the tests are carried out.

As per my knowledge Hep C is not contagious like any of them and is not spread like rest of them even. It is only tranmitted through blood tranfers. Well this what i know but it is better to call any hospital guy and have a good information about this.

It is more intricate than you may think . Roughly,antibody positivity does not rule out latent presence of actual virus . You may need PCR to rule out antigen (Viral protiens). It also depends on what sort of occupation you are having. Pleaser consult infectious disease consultant at Hamad Hospital

Best of Luck

You know what you have, anyone with HIV, Hep B-C are screened during initial labour health examination prior to recruitment. So if your tests come out positive, most probably you will be asked to leave the country. I don't know of any exceptional cases though.
