Well it depends on the Hospital and Immigration. And Immigration can be mean bastards who will deny one person for have an extra nipple to letting someone missing half a brain in with a smile.
Really it is...
Drugs
STDs (still some politics to do with AIDS)
TB (X-Ray)
Some blood work (STD and maybe some other diseases)
Psychical - Are you too fat or have some serious condition in which to refuse you. They might test eyes, hearing, balance.
It does depend on the hospital a little - I have heard of some asking for a stool sample.
Careful about lying on your medical form. If you have minor depression -lie, if you re hiding a serious disease do not risk it and come here.
Also sometimes the truth can be accepted, you just have to possibly take the lumps. |

The forums are anonymous! Spill the beans!
What about things like diabetes or sleep apnea? Are these tests like the criminal checks where ANYTHING is a no-no? |

Ok...basically I'm concerned that I may an STD...HPV which can result in genital warts but I don't think it shows in blood or urine tests anyway? Will get tested before I leave but I don't have much time for getting tests/results/treatment if it turns out I do have anything! Very embarassing and I've never had anything before so I'm hoping it's just not the case! |

Go to the doctor if it's urgent.

Ha that would be the most obvious thing to do, but I'm actually away - hence the short time scale for getting tests etc done when I get back so thought I'd better check! |

There's no way to get rid of that, so there's nothing you can do. |
