Read / search the threads in the forum.   All of this has been discussed before. You can get a visa IF:

1) You are not looking to work in any of the 6 professions that do not allow Hep B e.g. food handlers etc
2) If 1 is true then you come to UAE on a visit visa and convert it to a work visa after arrival.  If you follow the normal medical test of GAMCA in your home country, they will never pass you
