HIV+ was removed from the list of communicable diseases. However I think they still have Syphillis serology test that has to be carried out.
I am still surprise b/cos in Nigeria it is not optional. I did my medicals last month and all DV winners who came for the medicals did the HIV test, they never told us that it was optional. Infact a DV winner who decline to have the test was told by the Physician that he was going to write in his medical form the he refused to take the HIV test.
One love

I had HIV test in Nigeria as well. It's mandatory as the physician told all DV applicants that they are testing ur blood on HIV and syphillis.
I was surprised coz I heard earlier this year that the Obama admin has lifted the ban. I think this HIV test issue can't be single out in some countries.
If is being tested in Nigeria then I think it applies to every country (my opinion)

The Immigration Medical Exam is necessary for individuals that seek to adjust status in the United States or apply for an immigrant visa abroad. It is not possible to obtain an immigrant visa or adjust status without a medical examination. The medical exam must be conducted by a doctor approved by the USCIS. A complete list of approved immigration doctors can be found in the Immigration Medical Exam Guide available for instant download on this page.
Proof of treatment or follow up tests must be provided before the application of temporary or permanent residency is approved. Children may be subject to additional immunization requirements. Medical examinations are generally valid for 12 months. Individuals that are legal residents but changing status to U.S. citizens may be required to re-take the immigrant medical exam. The medical examination must be completed before you can adjust status or obtain an immigrant visa. The medical examination fee is paid directly to the doctor.

samuel5028,
Apart from advertising your services (questionable practice in itself), how have you helped answer the original question posed by the forum member?
At least the 'owner' of this forum has the grace to host us all, but you are merely touting your expensive services - and for a something which can easily be done for free.
I have been on this forum for over a year, and many kind and helpful people provide assistance and guidance - all for free. Can't say I've ever read any post of yours that is helpful and for the fact you are only looking for business I would hope that an administrator eventually notices and does the right thing. ..
