I’m in Oklahoma and I’m having trouble finding a medical facility that can test me for the diseases listed by Thailand for a visa. Namely Leprosy, is anyone else having this problem? Thanks in advance.
Answer summary

My doctor made me have a blood test with leprosy he said I don't have and signed the form when the blood results negative

I seriously doubt that. Probably gave you a syphillis test.

The medical form is based on 1970s medicine for Cambodian migrant workers. Any physician can evaluate you with a few questions. Unless you have spent months in African villages lately there is no chance you have filiasis.There is a slight chance you might have TB and yes, syphilis is a STD still spreading in US. Are you bare backing any college girls? By the way nobody says Leprosy any more it is called Hansen’s disease that is a Biblical term considered derogatory. When I got the form in Thailand I was only given the Syph blood test.

You don't need to be tested for it, you just need a signature saying you don't have it. The medical certificate in Thailand required for a driver's license requires the same 5 things, it's 100 baht and takes 2 minutes.

Lol have you ever looked at the med cert? There are 5 diseases it lists and you can't have any of them.

agreed. But in the States doctors may be more 'picky.' Perhaps there is a 'tropical disease' specialist in Oklahoma City who can give the man a clean bill of health.

That would be an absurd cost. There is 0 reason to go that far. Just go to a GP or any clinic and have them fill out the fit to fly.
