Posted By Alex (Manila, Philippines) on 03/25/2015

hello, I am working on ship, now I don't know what to do, I have been experiencing herpes symtoms, now I am really down, I always feel I have fever, I have some blisters in my genitals, but I never get tested in hospital ship, I am worried they will send me home.

Now my question is, I can't work anymore in any cruiseship because I have a medical examination, I will lose everything, my family is waiting to me and my girlfriend. I am really down. Please help.

Also I would like to know that if you have herpes, then you don't have anymore outbreak, but you are still positive hsv, when you have a mediaal exam you will be rejected to your job? I've read a simple blood test can detect herpes. Because I'm working in a ship I am very worried about this, I will lose everything, I can't work anymore. pleasr help.

Most of the population carries the herpes virus. A positive herpes test shouldn't mean you're fired from your job. Heck, they probably wouldn't be able to find people for the jobs. If you have symptoms, look under genital herpes in the ailments section. Many people successfully control the symptoms.
