Nairalanders i was asked to present a comprehensive medical report and certificate of medical fitness with my acceptance of job offer letter. what kind of tests will it involve (HIV and what and what?), how will i state my mission at the hospital, how much will it cost, how's the tests procedure going to look like and how long will i hav eto wait until i get the results? please i need tips from those who've been in such a situation before.

Its basically of the same formate but the position u r are pplying for may determine the specification of the test. u need not bother, any doctor will no what to test u on. I will advice u to go to a reputable hospital like Lagoon or Eko. Generally the cost should be between 5-10 thousand naira depending.

correct

surely whatever test they will conduct you will be informed
there is no need for HIV test except if your employer SPECIFICALLY REQUESTS FOR IT
though the ministry of labour is fighting that trend now but i don't think they can do much in private establisment for now since there is no law backing them for now
most of the tests are short and the results should be out the same day except if your employer want so specialised procedures to be done

@Poster, guess your new employers are trying to 'do Ijebu'. Usually the employer gives the new employee a letter to the company's designated hospital which already knows the kind of test the company requires to be carried out on the new entrant. Yours is just to submit yourself for the test, what test is going to be carried out and the payment is none of your businesss. The hospital sends the result directly to your employer and you may not know the result of the test conducted on you!!! :oThat is Naija for you o, my brother. However, these days, some doctors may tell you the kind of tests (usually, HIV 1 and 2 tests are a main feature), you may object to this but then the doctor will indicated in the result that you did not submit yourself to such and such type of test (which means, , your guess is as good as mine).

Some of the conditions tested for include HIV 1 & 2, Tuberculousis (through chest xray), a woman's tummy is also scanned (for whatever purpose I don't know), (the thing wey ladies eye dey see self ), they'll press your bobbies testing for lumps , infact your are lucky that you are a man.

It's disappoint though, that you have to pay for these tests. Well, I wish you all the best.
