its is in carrier condition... what is interferon and ribavirin??
These are antiviral.In some carriers, the infection may “resolve” either suddenly or as a result of antiviral therapy. This means their blood test has become HBsAg negative. Other persons may remain HBsAg positive and have no evidence of chronic liver disease (“healthy carriers”). These “healthy carriers” are considered infectious persons, although the risk of transmitting the virus may vary from carrier to carrier.So dear it may pose some difficulties for immigration.On other hand take care of your health brother

None of us can concretely opine on ur case... Yes - it will create addnl tests - in all probabilities a Specialist's Report as well... whereinafter much would depend on that report and the Canadian RMO's take on it. Here's the extract from the DMP's handbook:

Question 8: Hepatitis
When there is a history of hepatitis in those older than 15 years of age, the details from the applicant should include the date and type of hepatitis, if known.

Note: If the applicant is not excessive demand exempt, then the results of serum AST and ALT should be provided. If these are abnormal (greater than 1.5 X normal value), then a specialist's report including hepatitis C antibodies and hepatitis B surface antigen should be provided.

In Medical officer's handbook (dated 2004) , the guidelines to Medical officer reads that Hepatitus B carrier , if liver is not impaired, should be assessed as M3 i.e. medically admissible
