Hey hey people. Can anyone give me PRECISE information please. I want to know what diseases/infections/STI's they check for in the health check done when you arrive in South Korea. There is so much various information online, I wish to get a health check done in my home country first as some websites say it's wise to.

It seems to vary depending on where you get the health check done.

The common things from the two checks I had done were:
-AIDS/HIV
-TB (They do a chest X-ray)
-Hep A/B
-An arbitrary box labelled infectous diseases.
-Some arbitrary boxes labelled Heart, Lungs, etc...

The first one specifically checked for:
Syphilis

The second one specifically checked for:
Leprosy
