i'm Freaking out, please help!!!


Recommended Posts

So yeah I have genital Herpes and its been a long road to fully recover from the emotional breakdown when I found out. so I'm majoring in criminal justice. Two of my biggest fear are that I will not be allow to become a police officer because I have Herpes or that I wont be allow to join the navy because I have Herpes. Is this possible? I don't even want to google anything about it because it would make things worst. Can I even donate blood to others ? My mother might need blood transplant and I happen to be O- blood that gives to others but I have Herpes and I don't think I can donate to others. this makes me extremely sad and depressed. Please anyone with helpful information help out.

Nope... This will not prevent you from getting into either.. We've had a thread on here in the past as of such and the frmalenjist came back and notified us today, that her waiver was accepted to join the army. I myself am prior army.. Don't stress yourself out. You'll be fine..

 

Yes you can donate blood, herpes resides in the nerves, not in the blood. You contract it through skin to skin contact.

 

Here is the thread...

Thank you so much, I was freaking out because I have finally something going on for myself and I thought Herpes was going to get in the way of it. I always used to donated blood before finding out I had Herpes. After that I became scared and embarrassed to donate my blood which would be infected, but now I know I can. Thank you!

Honey, if people couldn't donate blood or become police officers or join the armed forces, this country (most in fact!) would be f*cked :)

 

Seriously, you will be fine. H shouldn't keep you from doing ANYTHING you want in life, except perhaps, from having sex once in awhile, and even then, it's a GREAT excuse to learn other ways to get yer freak on :)
