Is there any news on this DOH "draft" document? In itself it is a very
useful document, but a draft is a draft.
The issue of racism is a thorny issue but as David points out, if the
rules are applied to all then there can be no allegation of racism. I
also feel that we need to be realistic regarding HIV hotspots throughout
the world and it is a fact of life that in certain areas HIV is itself
endemic.
I also like the idea of chest x-ray for those from endemic TB areas as it
is reckoned that BCG protects for approx 15 years. Never thought of that
one myself, and maybe i should have.
