I guess you must go for a blood test 3 months after every
overseas training. I think the rationale is that if you got
infected by the HIV virus, it would take about 3 months for the
antibodies to show up.
I should know. As a medic, I've had to take blood samples from lots
of people after my unit returned from overseas training (Brunei in
the first year, followed by Thailand in the second year). I must
have drawn blood from like 50++ people each time.
Pretty interesting experience. I had a guy who fainted at the sight
of his own blood squirting into the vacuum tube, and siao-on Rambo
wannabes who blanch and get frightened at the sight of the needle.
