blood test

I will be taking my blood test for rediency and was just wondering what are they looking for. And why a urine test also.

DRUGS & AIDS

As an aside, I've heard that employees of the resorts are also tested for HIV when they get hired. Is this true and if so who covers the cost, given the # of employees in the A-I resorts.

good for goodness' sake!!
they will test for HIV, VD, Urine will be for drugs...

To deny someone the right to work because they are sick or disabled is against human rights and should be discontinued.

Of course there are two separate issues here: residency and employment. I'm actually curious about both. In the DR, if found to be HIV positive, are you denied either one?

Sarah, I do not know however, I have been told that if you are married to a Dominican you have the right to residency.

They are looking for AIDS, syphilis, tb or evidence of drug abuse. If any of these is present, the residency application will be rejected. Every country in the world requires good health as a condition for immigration. For immigrants to the U.S. at the turn of the century, the most dreaded moment at Ellis Island was the medical examination: an X on the coat meant a return voyage to Europe.

This year our firm had two applicants testing positive on drugs. Both allege that it was a mistake and we are having a very hard time just getting the authorities to allow a second test. They wanted to deport them immediately.

The law protects an employee from termination just for being HIV-positive. For residency, it's totally different. See my other post in this string.

Thank you Sr. Guzman, However I was asking about HIRING practices. Can an employer in the DR refuse to hire someone due to someone testing positive for HIV? Is it general practice to test prior to hiring, as Peter mentioned above? I'm asking because it doesn't sound right. There should be laws against this sort of human rights infraction, as ciberstew suggests. Thanks for any additional information. Sarah
