Hello. I was recently treated for Latent (sleeping) TB and do not have any scars on my lungs. I was informed that a blood test result will remain positive even after treatment. However, the NHS will provide me with a document to say that I have been treated successfully. I would like to know if this would be a problem during the medical for a work visa in the UAE. Please help me with this information. Thank you.

Only screening here is XRay chest not Blood test for TB
Therefore if your X-ray chest is clear. There will be no problem. And you don't need to mention it or show any documents for your previous treatment.
If X ray chest is doubtful then you need to present the certificate for having been treated and declared healthy.
