I am not being told I need to have a health check up to get a winter camp job for next month.

Has anyone else had this request?

Bet the camp is with kids and they want to check if you have HIV !

My thinking would be:

1. If you know you've got nothing to worry about and you really want to do the camp, do it.

OR

2. If the camp is not that great an ambition for you and you feel offended by their request, forget 'em. Let 'em find someone else. There's still time to find another camp for you.

OR

3. If you do go and they do test you for HIV without you signing a form authorizing the test, . . . there may be legal consequences for those involved in violating your rights.

Because you'll be having a lot of sex with kids at the camp.

It turns out the test is a standard thing that all teachers do to get a job with the government. It's called a 공무원 채용 신체 검사.

I decided to do it because I have not had a check up with any doctor in a long time. I might as well find out how I am doing physically.
