I am not a doctor. You have provided insufficient information for most of us to provide an opinion. Basically, if you tested HBsAg positive for over a year, then you are chronic.
All the best.

Thanks for your response.
This is the complete lab test.
HBsAg - Positive
HBsAb - Negative
HBeAg - Negative
HBeAb - Positive
HBcAb - Positive

Is the lab results still fair?

I have a pre medical test screening for a job and they want to test for hep b. Will I get reject for the job after the screening ?

I am sorry, the information you provided is insufficient to determine whether your HBV infection is acute or chronic.
In general, over 90% of HBV infection in adults are acute (HbsAg negative after 6 months). However, over 90% of infants from an infected mother will have chronic HBV transmitted from their mother at birth.
At the moment, there is no cure for chronic HBV, but there are excellent treatments, so you will most likely not die from HBV.
Most countries, especially those in the Middle East, do discriminate against people with HBV in jobs, but situation is improving. In other countries, such as USA and Australia, people with HBV, their rights to jobs are protected by law. So check with the law of the country and the policy of your hiring company.
All the best.
