Re: Carrying herpes in your system without knowing?

just so you know they dont test for herpes in blood when you give blood.

"Your blood will be tested for syphilis, HIV (the virus that causes AIDS), hepatitis and other factors. We will notify you if tests show you may be unhealthy. Your blood would not be used if it could make someone sick. (A sample of your blood or a portion of your donation might be used now or in the future for additional tests or other medical studies. Please tell us if you object.)

Do not give blood to find out whether you test positive for the virus (HIV) that causes AIDS. Though the tests we use are very good, they are not perfect. HIV antibodies may take weeks to develop after infection with the virus. If you were infected recently, you might have a negative test result, yet be able to infect someone. That is why you must not give blood if you are at risk of getting AIDS or other infectious diseases. We can tell you where to get an AIDS test anonymously.

If you are temporarily deferred from giving blood, please don't give up! We hope you will return to donate blood once your deferral period is over. "

i think you should have an aids test in six months too. this girl you were with really doesnt seem to have her head on strait.
