if your husband does not have it, then i'd say your okay.
did they also test you for hepatitis c? (different than b)
and since you have hepatitis B have they tested you for hepatitis d?

please find out what test exactly you came up positive for. There are different stages of hep B. If you only test pos for Anti- Hbs. that would mean you went Thur it OK and you have developed immunity. Great for immigration to US as well.

if you are testing pos for add. tests you may be in a chronic stage of Hep B, not so good for you. But there are treatment options, like interferon...

don't be depressed there is worse to get.

I believe it depends on who is going to interview you in the consulate office. But You have to understand that since you will be working in a hospital setting, incidents like accidental needle pricking do happen and that's probably what they are trying to avoid. These people do have routine protocols that applies to everyone. So, just keep on trying and keep your fingers crossed that luck will be on your side. Good luck.
