Will Hep C prevent me from getting a visa?

Hi,
Found out recently that apparently I'm HCV - Hep C- positive. Does anyone know the full lowdown on Taiwan's medical check. I have noticed a similar post on this forum but the link carries me nowhere - maybe expired....dunno....anyone who can give me anything concrete - as opposed to opinion (thx anyhow, but I really absolutely need to know the real deal) - pls either PM me or post. Cheers,

Karl

They don't check for Hep C. Only for AIDS and parasites up your arse. You will be required to give a piss and shit sample. Take a snickers bar with you if you think you wont be able to shit under pressure. They will also allow you to come back the next day with a sample.

Friend of mine just did his 2nd health check and no piss or shit sample was required. Just a chest x-ray and blood test.

I took the test at the Ren'ai Hospital, Taipei City.

They require piss and stool samples in Taiwan? Not ever had that in the mainland....just bloods for STDs, chest xray, ultrasound etc. The results were always the same....blood:red , pregnant:nope, thankyou God , STDs: forget it!
