Wait. Seriously. You can have herpes and still qualify as an astronaut?

Can they say no, to an AIDS carrier?

And if the herpes virus emerges, what of AIDS?

It’s a virus. If someone’s had the chickenpox, they could easily get shingles as well. They aren’t going to disqualify someone over having the chickenpox at one time.

A majority of the US population carries the non-genital herpes virus, mostly contracted in childhood. It is usually dormant but a weakened immune system can allow it to flare up.

There are nonsexual strains of herpes. If you get canker sores in your mouth every once in awhile, thats a nonsexual strain of herpes.
