Hie I just recently moved to Kuwait and 2 weeks ago I got sick and was diagnosed with hepatitis A I had my medicals booked for the next week and I was feeling fine but I believe I still had the virus in my system if this shows on my medicals will this be a factorfor deportation or they only consider hepatitis B and C only for deportation as these are the only 2 I keep hearing of. I am really worried about this Iissue and wld like to be a bit prepaired when the results come out

I don't know about Kuwait but generally within the entire GCC (And varies from country to country), only Hep B and C are the diseases you need to worry about.

Hepatitis A is curable (And that's why they don't deport for it)
Hepatitis B is not curable but you can prevent it through vaccination (last for 10-15 years and then you get booster shots to keep it going)
Hepatitis C is not curable and there is no vaccine
