a friends medical question

![Default](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Umm she told me she filed AOS through an attorney before her VWP was up. she was told to submit everything she had on her. She went for a holiday so her british passport is all she had with her.
well I don't know much about u.s immgration BUT was asking a question about the herpes virus and medical grounds of inadmissability.
Its giving me a headache researching on this topic for her.

I suppose what her lawyer did is file the AOS without the medical to get it filed before her 90 days was up. In that case, she'll be receiving an RFE (Request for Further Evidence) for her medical.
I know you're trying to be a helpful friend...but...she speaks English. Her USC husband most likely speaks English. She has a lawyer working on her case. Why are you researching all this? Shouldn't she, her husband, or her lawyer be doing that?

Herpes is not checked for in the medical exam and is not one of the things that makes her inadmissible.

I am not surprised you are confused, I am confused as well just trying to read about it!
Anyway I thought you originally said she has syphilis hot herpes and syphilis is checked for, I guess it is then up to the Dr to establish what state it is in and whether it is being treated.
Is herpes the same thing as syphilis? My laptop broke down earlier so I am using my dads computer at the moment and don't quite know what he would do if he got up tomorrow and saw numerous searches for herpes and syphilis

Since it is estimated that well over 50% of the US population has some form of Herpes (there are several different kinds) there really wouldn't be much point in trying to exclude people on that basis.

Syphilis is an STD and so is herpes but on the list the word herpes is not there?
But we all know that herpes is a contagious vuris.
anyway I told her to join now so expect a thread from her soon

I totally agree with Rene; you may do your friend more harm than help with your research. Please invite her to join and post here. If she has a problem asking the questions herself you may refer her to me as Moderator and I will see that her posts are put up verbatim and anonymously.
Herpes is not checked for in the medical exam and is not one of the things that makes her inadmissible.

I don't understand your confusion.
Syphilis is a communicable, treatable STD.
Herpes is a separate non-curable (though treatable) STD.
If a sexual partner has one variety of cooties, they may have more than one, which is why people often get a couple of STDs at once. They aren't the same thing.
If I was your friend, I'd be more worried about getting treatment, particularly for syphilis - it has some nasty potential consequences.

1. Does your friend have syphilis? If not, she should be fine at the medical. If yes, she might be found inadmissable, as this seems to be on the list of things that can make someone inadmissable.
2. Does your friend have herpes? if not, she should be fine at the medical. If yes, she still should be fine at the medical because this seems not to be on the list of things that can make someone inadmissable.
Still, either way, they will find what they find at the medical...and if they find something to make her inadmissable, so be it. She can worry about it all she wants ahead of time, but it doesn't change the final result. It's not something she can "fix" by the time her medical comes around.

How she got it is irrelevant.
You made this clear in 5 posts... you don't have to keep repeating it.

FYI: My Euro history professor liked to tell the famous story about Henry VIII and syphilis. He believed Henry contract it which killed his male (Y) sperm leaving only the hardiest female (X) sperm to impregnate her. This is probably why he had troubled fathering a male offspring when he did manage to impregnate his later wives.
