Advice please: Helper with Herpes

[American]

I for one would not employ someone in my household with any kind of reoccurring, transmittable disease especially around young children and relatives with weak immune systems - why risk it?

Then again, I'm a very paranoid person. I have our helper get checked up every 6 months just to be safe.

For curiosity sake, what does the check cover?

Actually it's mandated by MoM. FDW 6me. At a minimum it is urine (pregnancy I believe) and blood (TB I think and std's). You can do more like x-rays but I think the causes for immediate repatriation are TB and AIDS. Not sure if genital herpes would be grounds for repatriation and contract termination. It's probably one the MoM site somewhere.
