Medical Issue

[kmnv155]

I have a medical question.
I am a chronical Hepatitus B carrier (meaning the cells are in my blood, but i am not sick, i just "carry" it.)
Also after birth of my child i still can't lose weight.
Do you think these 2 issues will fail my medical exam?
And should I even mention HepB? (They found it while I was pregnant through special blood test)

Thank you for your help

I wouldn't think your weight is a problem unless it's causing you serious health problems.

Your Hepetitis B is another matter. If you are chronic, that means you can infect other people and you are also at risk of serious liver damage. Whether you mention it or not to the doctor, they'll probably screen for it when they take the blood sample. Since HepB is a disease that can be spread to others, as well as being progressively damaging to your liver, my impression is that it would disqualify you.

It is possible, though, if you are the dependent or spouse of the primary applicant, that your condition will be waived.
