Unfortunately you will almost certainly fail.  I'd likely reconsider your options.  If it is on the test list then they obviously care about it, since you are a carrier you will obviously fail the test and hence have your EP rejected.  Why do you think it is on the test list if they are going to give you an EP regardless?

Hi  
  Thanks you for your reply. But some of my friend said that there are only two test, one Blood test for HIV and one Chest XRay for TB.
In EP medical declaration form from MOM, these are all.
Pls give me more suggestions.

Regards,

What suggestions do you want?  If Hep B is on the exam you will fail it, if it isn't you will pass (assuming you don't have anything else).

Anyway, they don't test everyone.  Sometimes you just fill out a form.  Likely depends where you are coming from and whether you are perceived as high risk.

From what I can find, Hep B is not listed so you should be fine.

Consider before coming here though, medical treatment is expensive, so if you need any Docs appointments, medicine etc because of your illness it is going to be expensive (and if you get insurance you will have to declare your illness on your insurance form, through your employer so they will know). If you don't declare, and later claim any medical costs you will be in trouble.

The Doctor will ask you if you are suffering illness, during your medical. I suppose it is up to you to disclose or not, but most likely you would need to be honest. If you have noticible symptoms- jaundice, abdo pain etc the doc will notice.
