Some of those.. I'm sure on the London Embassy website it told us exactly what they were looking for.

Not sure what immunizations you had as a kid but you might need an MMR jag.

Just a side note: I hope you don't have the plague!

Psychiatric issues (cutting etc) can also be cause for extra scrutiny.

I contracted Malaria 3 years ago while I was in Uganda. although I was treated and I am sure it is out of my system but in Denmark, if you ever had malaria then you cannot donate blood a certain number of years.

I wonder if I should disclose this information when I go to medical exam or just keep quiet unless being asked?

Yes, i got scrutinized for this at my medical but luckily i passed without a problem as i bought with me a letter from my doctor explaining the situation etc and made sure i told the absolute truth to every question i was asked and it was fine. Some countries and doctors could be a lot stricter though. Some people have had to psych evaluations before their medical could be passed.

Finally time for AOS.......

At my medical I filled out a medical history form and had to sign it...I think choosing not to disclose that might be seen as lying. I would certainly be truthful.

If I were you, I'd make an appointment with my doctor and find out if they can test for that prior to your official medical.
