Hi All,

Our daughter didn't (12 years old) and neither did our nephew (15 years old) when we did our medicals earlier this year.

I think without being crude that they are not "active", if you know what I mean.

Hope that helps.

Thanks all.

NO. Ours did an eye test, read a bit from a paragraph of teeny writing, doc looked in ears..(to find brain I presume..lol) then felt their tummies, job done.

I believe 16 years old and over must have the HIV test.

My daughter was 15 and had to have it even though not active (that I'm aware of!)
