Herpes and studying medicine
In brief, I am studying medicine and I am worried sick if I have acquired herpes even though I do not have any symptoms, but the college will perform tests for all the students and they may find out I have herpes and cancel my study visa... please help me is it only hiv and hepatits who are prevented to study or anyone who has any STDs?
3 months ago since the possible exposure, i experienced hiv symptoms such as diarrhea, oral thrush, red cheecks with some kind of flaky skin as well conspitation
I tested for hiv 30 days / 45 and 75 days post exposure and it was all fine... But im worried it could be herpes...
So could they cancel my study visa for herpes? Could it be herpes-related symptoms?
Please answer.. Thank you in advance

" it may be unacceptable to have a chronic disease and study medicine"
Nonsense. There are no restrictions in the US (and I doubt in other countries). Plenty of doctors have chronic hepatitis, herpes, and any number of infections. They are not routinely tested, and if tested and found positive, continue their training or practice without interference. As you will learn once you begin medical training, with easy, common-sense precautions, such doctors do not transmit these infections to their patients.
You can easily find oral herpes symptoms on line. Just google "oral herpes" or "cold sores".

I know no country requires STD testing.. But as a medical student, it may be unacceptable to have a chronic disease and study medicine. That's why my college will do tests for all the students... That what is killing me...
I heard some people don't show symptoms, and I did probably most of the STD's tests except Herpes..
What are the symptoms of oral herpes? And can medical students specifically, contintue to study with supposedly Oral Herpes?
And sorry for the double posting...
