Hi Dingdong,

thanks for really sharing your side about the issue and you said u are going to see one of the doctors in al baraha hospital kindly ask please about those people with new visa not included in 6 categories if they are still checking hepatitis b.And i have issue about getting copy of medical certificate would you be kind enough also to ask the doctor if there is a possibility of getting a copy even though the test was conducted last feb. 2010..this is really huge favor i am asking you and i might not be the only one having a problem too because normally clinics dont give the copy of med. certi. to the concern person who is tested with positive of hepa.It really my problem....

I am praying that you can share more information after you have a conversation with one of the doctors.

regards,

hi Namira.

what medicine did you take?please discuss how's the treatment since you've mention that after 6months of treatment you become negative from hepa b virus..hope you can share it with us..

foiegras

hi dingdong,

did you take the same medicine?same doctor?how's your result now?

Namira

Hi foiegras,
The doctor give me such medicine and i have to keep drink it 3 times every day. I also surprise because the doctor in abudhabi when i do medical check for my visa told that once i have the virus, it will remain untill end of life. But now my HBsAg non reactive, HBeAg non reactive and HBV-DNA negative.
I also become confuse is there any possiblity that the result lab wrong?

thanks w_ali!!!! for the prompt reply and detailed information. very much appreciate it!!!

does that also mean we all need to go to this baraha hospital only to get the medical test, as both dingdong and you got confirmed answer from there? also this new policy has been widely implemented around UAE?

we look forward to hearing from you next week regarding your test and it will defo be fine.

wish you all the very best and again thank you so much!

Hi to all.

I am planning to go to Abu Dhabi this coming April on a Tourist Visa. I am going to push my luck by looking for a job there. I would like to ask if I can have a work visa even if I am positive for Hep B? I am planning to work in the field outside the 6 categories. Perhaps in the HR. Can anyone help me with this one? Thank You.

dingdong

Hi Namira, the six categories are,
food handlers, maids, restaurant workers, nannies, teachers and other educators.

dingdong

Hi Namira,
do you have the contact no. of the doctor that you have been? Appreciate if you can share this.

Namira

Hi dingdong,..
Of course with my pleasure to share it. But may i know how was your result lab? Because in my case when i make medical check for the first time only my HBsAg reactive, Anti HBs and HBeAg non reactive and HBV-DNA negative. After i keep take medicine all are non reactive and HBV-DNA negative.
First i also feel surprise, confused and doubt it because i ever heard that a doctor said once someone have that disease, the virus will keep remain in their body untill end of their life although their ok now. But the reality that i have now from my last result lab like this :
1. HBsAg non reactive
2. HBeAg non reactive
3. Anti HBs non reactive
4. HBV-DNA negative
Btw do you still go to your doctor? If you don't mind could you ask about this also to him? If my last result like what i type above can we consider it as i am ok now no virus remain in my body OR still i have the virus keep remain in my body? because according to my doctor i am ok and no virus found in my body anymore. Plz help me and ask to your doctor and others to make me become sure. Thanks

Best Regards

Hi Namira:

Hi little,..
what i know is HBsAg test to know that is there the virus of Hepa B in someone body or not? And Anti HBs only to see if your body have been formed in the body immunity against the virus. Plz correct me if i am wrong.

little

喜Namira:

You are right that is my isn't clear.
what differentiation have about Anti HBs and HBsAg non reactive ?Are they the same?

dingdong

Dear Namira, My count was very low and hence i didn't start taking any medicine so far and i have checked with one of the doctors for his suggestion. God has given natural antigene in our body in some of the cases it works perfectly works on someone and for others it takes to the other extreme. however, in both the cases you are infected. sometimes, the reactivity is further boosted when you take medicines and this is like a catalyst in a chemical reaction. As long as you don't have any problem with the lipid profile of the body there is no problem. even if a person is infected and the lipid profile is perfect, he/she can leave for at least another 25 years without any problem. however, it is advisable to check your HBV count on a regular intervals like 6 months. if the count goes beyond 100k, you need to take medicines. There is also a possiblity that once your count becomes zero and if you stop taking the medicine, again the count may increase. Again, there are exceptional cases too.
BTW, you didnot share the information about the doctor, please let us know.

dingdong

Hi, i still haven't started taking any medicine as my HBV count is very low.

Hi Dingdong,

Many thanks to your reply.I am actually taking chances about my case because i already called the clinic from Philippines many times and it seems to me that no one can give me the answer i really needed to hear.I had my medical in Al Muhaisnah Fitness centre one of the person i spoke to there said after 3 months they delete the record which i think not really fair i think they must have a record then of all people who made medical in their clinic.i did try to ask my previous company to ask a copy form our main sponsor Dubai Multi Commodities Centre in Jumierah Lakes Towers because we are in a freezone visa but they informed the PRO of my previous company that for failed medical they dont keep record of the medical certificate and the best department i can ask for my med. cert. copy is to go directly to the clinic where i had my med. I know this case is a bit complicated now because i had my second med. in Al mUhaisnah around january 2010. If in case you can open this issue to the doctor in Al Baraha would you be kind enough to ask if there is  a possibility that a record which is almost a year ago is still in there system , if in case yes i might ask a favor from my friend in dubai to check in AL Muhaisnah.If in case the doctor said no, is there a way of getting that record.

I would really appreciate if you can do that favor.

Thanks and best regards.

Who can help me to ask immigration?

Hi all,

A few days ago i flew to Dubai &was unfortunately denied entry and turned around. Apparently I have been blacklisted. It would have been useful to know this BEFORE i went through all this trouble. I was never informed by my company about a ban, my fiancé was not able to get any information no matter where he asked and my father in law was told everything is fine when he had someone at immigration check my passport details. It's ridiculous that THIS was actually the only way for me to find out!

Anyway, can someone plz tell me if there is a way to lift the ban and how?

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

any more updates about ban that were succesfully lifted out.Please share..

x-expat

Hi All,

I managed to have residence visa already stamped on my passport a few days ago. Fitness test went smoothly and the doctor informed me during the process that according to new law, they only check for HIV and TB for visas not under 6 categories. The medical test request also showed two ticked boxes for HIV and x-ray only.

Info of use:

1)New application, not renewal.
2)I was previous UAE resident, sent home last 2008 when I applied for new visa and failed the med test. I did not get any ban from the immigration.
3)Not under 6 categories.
4)Med test at Al Baraha testing center in Deira.

I encourage everyone to continue to share bits of good news to others.
Thanks all.
