To say that must mean you know someone who did this? (or maybe its just something you have heard), mind you like most say, it is Egypt, its more corrupt now then it was in Mubarak times

"So easy"? I doubt it.

If you are required to have a blood test by the immigration authorities or for a work permit you will be referred to an approved hospital/clinic in Cairo where the chances of getting the results fraudulently adjusted would be minimal.

Getting one for voluntary, pre marital, purposes might be possible if you can find an unscrupulous doctor.

No that's not right Newcastle, for a work permit you have to have a letter from a doctor saying that you do not have HIV, blood tests having been carried out and found to be clear. These I am sorry to say are available from a number of doctors in Luxor.

I spoke further about this with my 'all things Egyptian adviser.' She states that although not compulsory, it is a way, in their way of thinking, that the marriage will be one of ''purity'' having a clear bill of health. I think it a good thing. I doubt that you could obtain one fraudulently, but who knows. The test cost them 125Le each at their local doctors, he/she then sent it off for testing. These results are only valid for six months, after that they have to get a new one done for it to be recognized.

I suppose if you're going to get hitched, at considerable financial outlay, to someone whom, on a personal level, you have little or no knowledge, then it's a sensible precaution to ensure the goods you are acquiring are healthy, serviceable and in good breeding condition.

David has been in contact with me on facebook and wanted me too add a comment from him, I told him he need to do it himself on our facebook group, he did not want to be a member of the group, so I added him and let him make is comment then I removed him, He also asked for it to be posted here, He says it is his first and last post on the matter, so they will be no more replies from him.

Copied from facebook:

David Lux I have never heard anything so vicious
As these comments

I'm not HIV it was a scam with the council
Someone tested for Hiv in my name

Anyone who knows me and has read the book will know it's not about me but a dear friend who died that year

If I was hiv or had any other sexually transmitted disease I would never be so reckless as to pass it on to anyone

Whenever I have sex I use extra strong condoms because there is anindemic of hep c in Egypt

Most of Luxor are on benefits anyway that's how they afford to live here and live the high life??

Sales of my book have rocketed due to all your lovely comments!! Keep them coming and you can buy my book in shops now in the uk as well as online in 24different languages around the world!!!!

I would just like to say thanks to all my friends in Egypt and around the world for standing by me through all these vindictive lies and comments!!!

This is my first and only comment on this matter!!!!

P.s to all you expats in luxor!
Take care with your backstabbing vicious comments because I know every detail of most of the expats what live in luxor I know who is doing pension fraud I know who is doing disability benefit fraud I know the peodiphiles going with young boys!! Watch your back I'm in the middle of writing a new book!!

I'm sure 'Dave realises how little it costs to have someone backstabbed in Egypt, making puerile threats causes action...
Ps: I'm also sure the forces of law & order would give it very little consideration.

An interesting comment. So, lets get it straight. There is no truth to the HIV part? OK, came from the horses mouth, so it has to be accepted. The books contents concerned a friend of his, OK, he says so, but the Local council investigations concerning the fraud stated that they had read the book and were dissecting the materiel to see if any new leads could be garnered from what David has written. Ok, so one of them is wrong. But are they correct in their fraud allegations against him? After all, the TV program did state that he had been fined £30,000 for that fact. And if, and I say if, your books are doing so well after the adverse publicity, then you should do the right thing and pay back all the benefits that your rented council properties made at the expense of the British tax payer. Is it correct that you had used multiple names? If so it shows that your intent was to defraud the system. As for your statement as to knowing a lot of the fraudsters living here, well, you would, wouldn't you.

Ruffly about four months ago, an Egyptian friend asked me if I knew who the English man was that was asking a lot of questions about expats living in or around the Karnak area. You doing research for the next book? If so paint a picture of myself as the biggest womanizer in Luxor that regularly pays for a bit of rough and tumble, is a renowned alcoholic, in recite of several UK benefits and is in the Guinness book of records as having the biggest tagger on the planet which he will gladly flash at 100Le per peek. People are quite happy to believe what they read, and I lack the street cred.

We all have to live with our own conscience.

I hate to p*ss on your tirade, but I think you meant todger as in going for a jimmy riddle &
using your hampton wick rather than tagger...

As we all know, the common p***k has many terms of reference. Tagger is a northern term, heard a lot in the building trade. Also the spam ram.

Since when have the Egyptian women had a choice in the decision to breed or not to breed?
