Blood Test for Hepatitis C for Dubai Resident Visa?

Hi,





I am a Pakistani and have recently landed a nice job in IT in Dubai. I wanted to know that do they check for Hepatitis B and C befpre granting resident visa and health card to expatriates?





I know that they do test for HIV for sure and i am HIV-ve but i have never been tested for Hep C or B so I wanted to confirm beforehand rather than face embarrasment and chaos at the spot!





Right now i am getting conflicting opinions on the web. Most of the resources I have found say that indeed Hep B and C are tested along with HIV and TB before granting visa and health card but there are some that say only HIV and TB are tested! So i am confused.





Please confirm. Thanks a lot.
