I looked over the application. I still think it is totally weird to ask that question. Everyone essentially has to answer "yes" if honest because everyone has had some disease or illness. Very odd.

I don't know if you have socialized/national medical health care or not. If so, I don't know if those records are accessible by a government agency like this. Or if they would bother to do a search, given the job is an internship in teaching so most of those issues aren't really relevant.

Here in the States if working with certain people in certain settings we do have to get a TB test for instance or say whether we have ever had it. But something like HIV status is illegal to ask about. As are most other medically related questions or those having to do with disability.

I guess another way to handle it so as not to lie is to check "yes" and then write something like "medical condition, in remission" and not divulge more than that. It's tricky. Almost anything you do could go wrong so I'm not sure.
