Hmm...sounds like someone is worried about getting busted. If you don't have any drugs in your system or any dangerous communicable diseases you'll be fine. If the doctor finds a health issue (high cholesterol, for example) they will talk with you to get it treated. If you're on prescriptions from your home country, bring the prescription with you and inform the doctor.

They have the drug test, the std test, and a tb test. Positive on anything they test for that is required for your ARC and you will be denied.

Its kind of embarrassing, but what if someone caught "the clap" 5 months before leaving for S. Korea? It has been treated and cured with antibiotics within two weeks of first signs of the STI, but I am scared that if they find out I have had this in the past they will send me home or it will prevent me from getting hired if it shows up on my health exam as something I have had in the past year, despite it having been treated for. Should this be something I should be worried about?

treated and cured? i'd say you'r cool. why dont u go get an std test at home before you come, to see if it shows up on that.

I have just recently, I have nothing. I am just wondering if this will show up on my health physical that I send to Korea and if they will ask if I have had somethng like this in the recent year?

[whome33]

you have nothing, you're fine. if asked if you've had it, the answer is no.

[whome33]

and what are you talking about, 'health physical that you send to korea' ? unless they changed it, you dont send it, you get it done here at a korean hospital.
