Past medical history concern

[Steila 0]

im worried about my medical exam is it past medical history like STD that is already cured over  a year ago can still  be detected? If i declared that i am cured will they be possibly deny my application? Thanks

It depends on the STD. When I did my medical they tested you for syphilis and/or gonorrhea (can't remember well). Anything other than that is unlikely to affect your medical.

Syphilis and ghonorrhea are both treatable and can be cured. HepB, HIV and herpes cannot be cured. If you had syphilis or ghonorrhea in the last and you have been treated, then there’s no way they will know you’ve ever had it, unless you tell them. Besides, I think they’re only really checking on major health issues, including cancer. I was talking to someone who was delayed after the medical exam bc they had a mass on their chest XRay, but said they could pass after getting it treated. 

Btw....I know this info about STDs bc I’m in the medical field, not personal experience lol

Thank you.... i have a medical firld backgrouns as well, i am just really woried about the st lukes standard. Because theres no reason that thy cannot pass those who have cured. From the word PAST medical hx thy just trying to check if u have any treat and untreated illness/disease. Most important thing diring interview is be honest and be healthy. If thy want further investigation of the health then be ready, if confident nothing to worry, thanks

@Steila that makes sense. My fiancé is in Pekanbaru and will go her medical exam in Jakarta. She is also worried about what they will do and say. She even started some of her vaccinations early to prevent any hold up. I told her that she doesn’t have any issues that they consider serious. From what I’ve read at the CDC site, which regulates the requirements of the exam, their primary focus are things like TB, malaria, yellow fever, polio, etc. IMO I wouldn’t stress too much about those lesser things as they’ve been treated and cured.

Does she had a previous disease before? If its cured i believe she can still pass. Theres ni way that cured disease can be denied its very unfair, the thing thy give tretmebtbis for them to gave people a chance
