Why the blood test for a working visa? by duanef
I smoked a joint about three weeks ago with a French tourist and heard that thc stays in your blood for a month. I just had my blood tested, and not for HIV, like other countries screen for. Why do they take a blood test here? Naive Duane
Thanks for your reply. I should have ask also "why?" Cos if you have HIV, then what? They don't give you the visa? I've never been asked for such a test for any kind of visa. Read More
