can you be accepted into the air force if you have a std

Sorry

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you will be medically disqualified. We call it the dreaded "foot problem." You might be able to get a waiver. As long as the initials of your STD doesn't start with the letter A.

 

[fieldw]

what are the chances for a waiver in your opinion?

 

[CCDiscoB]

It Depends

Dude, I was joking! It doesn't matter what you have. Well, that's not true, if you have AIDS, forget it.

So, which one is it and how bad?

Don't worry, we won't tell.

I don't want to offend anybody by mincing words, but HIV is disqualifying as well I believe.

 

[CCDiscoB]

True, I should be more specific, HIV is disqualifying. I guess if you have AIDS, you wouldn't be up more much training. When I think HIV I think AIDS. We're tested annually for HIV. There would be no hiding it..

Is it Herpes?

I am guessing herpes since that is the only one besides AIDS that sticks around.

Thanks for the responses. To tell you the truth fellas I dont know I just noticed an unfamiliar bump and it has kinda freaked me out because I ve been selected for ots and now I might be disqualified. Just to clarify, you were joking that I will be medically disqualified. Give me some straight talk Im kinda freaked out right now.

A friend of mine had the same reaction. It's probably an ingrown hair. Sorry for messing with you.

 

[fieldw]

no problem, i hope so. hate to be annoying, but anything but aids is qualifying. I definitely dont have aids.
