That’s interesting. What is the logic behind being able to either issue or refuse a certificate for exactly the same condition, dependent just upon the date it is observed?

According to the CAA, which is responsible for aviation safety regulations in the UK, certain medical conditions prevent would-be pilots obtaining the necessary certificate. These include being HIV positive, organ transplantation or having type 1 diabetes.
Pilots who already hold a commercial licence but later develop one of the conditions would still be able to operate.
