The reason you need to go to a doctor is that if this is left untreated, the disease will escalate over time and can result in issues like blindness.聽 Secondly, the primary treatment is via penicillin but you need to be sure that you don't have an allergy to this - because if you do, the alternative regimen is doxycycline.

question is how he finds out that he have this ? without going to any doctor ?

Hi all,

@nickz2160 Or anyone

hello. Today I went to get tested for Chlamydia. If it comes back positive will I be deported from Saudi Arabia?

No

@Al0611 it's normal u can get as soon treatment dnt worry

If you are cured of syphilis, but still have residual antibodies, below the threshold where the western world considers cured, can you not get the IQAMA? They ask for qualitative VDRL, but if in the tests carried out in the kingdom they carry out a quantitative test, it may present a quantity of residual antibodies even without transmitting and completely healed, known as an immunological scar. Is it possible not to be able to issue the IQAMA who had total remission of syphilis?

Is GAMCA clearing you or not?

I am not yet in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Due to the already cured infection, I know that the blood test that they will do for the IQAMA issue probably will show up. I don't have the disease, it's just the antibodies, the body defense mechanism, like a memory, it is normal and all doctors know that it takes time to go down. The question is whether or not I will be constrained in this process. I have already read the report in another thread here of a guy from Phillipines expat who, in 2017, when diagnosed with Syphilis upon arrival at the KSA, he was treated and got the IQAMA. He was infected, not just antibodies. But it's a huge strain not knowing how they're going to deal with it.

@XTang Do you think it might be interesting to write to the GAMCA before traveling to find out how they handle this at the KSA?

GAMCA will not comment nor know anything about KSA treatment - they are totally separate and represent the whole GCC, not just KSA.聽 The reason I was asking you about GAMCA is because until or unless they clear you, there is no chance for you to go to KSA to begin with.聽 聽KSA is not like UAE or Bahrain where you can go on a visit visa, do medical and convert it.聽 You HAVE to do medical in country of citizenship or country of residence.聽 Where GAMCA is present, it HAS to be GAMCA medical.

The proces here in my country is different. We don't have GAMCA. We clear with regular lab test, that are repeated when we arrive in KSA.

They ask us to do a test called VDRL qualitative. In VDRL qualitative the baseline antibody's titres are not counted. If you are titre 1:8 or less is considered non reagent of false negative. It means I can be cleared in my country and get the temporary work visa from here. Only if they use a different blood test method in KSA they will discover that I had a previous infection. The occupational office wrote their intention is avoid contaminated entry, that is not my case.

Well then, it may work in your favor as GAMCA would have NEVER passed you.聽 KSA may pass you.聽 I have heard of both outcomes happening.

Many thanks.

It means it's worth the risk.

Hi,

I have a similar query:

I was successful treated for syphilis 8 years ago while i was in Europe. I was issued a certificate of successful treatment by the hospital. My VRDL results are consistently non-reactive/negative since then, which shows I don't have clinical signs of current syphilis infection. My TPHA will remain positive forever, which indicates a past infection.

For KSA employment visa, i have to go for Gamca medical exam in Pakistan. Gamca guidelines require: "VDRL should be negative. If VDRL positive, then TPHA should be negative".

Also, syphilis is not listed among infectious diseases (like HIV, Hep B Antigen, HCV antibodies, TB) which are considered UNFIT in gamca guidelines ([link moderated])

My questions is that if I go to Gamca medical, and my VDRL is negative (which i have confirmed again) and TPHA positive, will that he considered as FIT. Or is it that any past syphilis inflection is considered permanently UNFIT in gamca medical? Any experiences or information in this regard will be helpful. Thanks

@amir878798 Any update? Did you get your Iqama?

@XTang

You seem to be informed on these matters, my hep b test came back positive. I believe it's accute. I have also had syphilis 3 years ago and was treated and my vdrl came back positive.

If the Dr. Writes a note explaining all of this, would they grant my work visa or will it most likely be denied.

I have an offer as a manager for a consulting company and I am canadian. Any reply would help

GAMCA, no it won't help. In country medical in Saudi, yes.聽 For syphilis.

For Hep B, it is a no no either way.

Why is hep b such a no no. It's very prevalent in Egypt and they come into ksa with it.

Gamca doesn't pass anyone in the medical who had Hep B. Same situation for the in country medical unless sponsor gets involved and gets rare exception. The only gcc country where they are relaxed about Hep B is UAE.
