S. Korea Drops Plans to Require Tests for AIDS
From Reuters
SEOUL, South Korea —
This country has decided to drop plans to demand AIDS tests of foreign job-seekers, South Korean officials announced Saturday.
“The government has concluded that it is unrealistic, after all, to ask for AIDS-free certificates and no countries require them at present,” one official said.
Last month, the ministry denied reports that it would demand that overseas visitors to the 1988 Seoul Olympics carry certificates showing they are not infected with acquired immune deficiency syndrome.
