Hi all,

I got offered a senior managerial role in one of the Saudi organizations. I had contracted Hepatitis C, but was successfully treated. I have done the PCR test 6 times in last five years and it always comes negative so I 'm pretty sure I do not have the disease. However, the ELISA anti HCV anitbodies show an elevated level. I was wondering what are my options at the moment?

Can I seek a waiver from the employer .i.e. the employer mentioning that this is non contagious and will not effect my performance? I can get the supporting evidence for this from the best of doctors and attach detailed reports. However, my question is if it's worth the effort? Can it work?
