| But most of these tests are completely irrelevant - normally the only person you would expect to undergo an STD (inc. HIV) test is a prospective sexual partner, as this is pretty much the only way these things are transmitted. If my employer asked me to do any of these tests before starting work for them I would be OUTRAGED and change my plans sharpish. My helper had a medical test for TB (easily transmitted in a close family environment), Hepatitis (the one transmitted through food preparation) and a stool test (also for food-borne nasties). All these tests were part of the pre-employment medical I underwent myself (hospitality industry ) and I think they are reasonable for food-handlers. The rest aren't. |
