    Hi all,

    does anyone know if anyone has been married in mexico before ? i have just been reading a website and it says that you have to have blood tests done to check for hiv and psyphilis (cant spell), is this the case ? I am terrified of needles and hate pain (low threshold) and i am ill for days when i have to have a blood test done (stress) and am worn out ?

    Please help me someone and tell me this is not true

    Thanx all - Kirst xx

    My brother got married in mexico and I'm pretty sure he had to have blood tests. Sorry. I hate needles too, have a massive phobia of them and avoid at all times. xx

    hi, my sister got married in mexico and she had to have blood tests. she had a full check up here first at an std clinic (i dont know why, just to be sure i think), then they both had to have blood tests while they were over there. i know its not nice, but think of the fab wedding you will have! xx

    yeah i heard that, I think turkey is the same. and i read something about a chest xray for one country, can't remember which one or see what the point of that is! I though the blood tests were to check you weren't related lol x

    some places require you to give blood, and im pretty sure mexico is one of the places. i thouhgt it was a bit random that certain places want blood etc before hand, check online and in the back of a wedding holiday brochure it normally tells you what is required to get married there. :)

    I went to mexico about 7 or 8 years ago and I didn't have to have any injections or blood tests, I wouldn't have thought it would have changed. But if you call your doctors surgery they should be able to tell you for definate. x

    We are getting married in Mexico and we do have to have blood test. Its to test if your pregnant or have disease etc. You can look it up on the internet what you need.
