Like before, you get a slip from the police station and take it to which ever clinic / lab you fancy.

Can someone explain why it is the ex pats under 60 who must have their blood tested and not Turkish Cypriots or Turks (viz citizens). I heard a rumour it is because those under 60 are sexually active and..................well, the inference is that they are amongst the great unclean and citizens are not! Is this against human rights, or am I just AID-ing the situation with a big stir up with a written wooden spoon.

If it was about money all non Turkish foreigners would be tested.

Point I am making is 'why aren't citizens tested annually?' Inference is that all foreigners are up to things which c\ould be dangerous - or are these tests to protect them? Or are the cynics correct that it is a fab way of getting more money into the system?

All a piece of nonsense as I will have to take the test and because hubby is 60 he won't!! Married 38yrs what in goodness name do they thing I am going to get up to now. As for TB as a nurse I was regularly checked and in 2003 had to be inoculated against it again as one of ours nurses had it.
