what STDs does MEPS test for?

I went to MEPS a couple months ago, no swabs. If sh** is growing on you get it fixed though cause they check you out front to back. I felt like I was Mike Honcho posing for Playgirl.

They obviously draw blood, so I don't know if they look for STDs in your blood.

Lol this post has certainly spawned some good replies!

FYI to all...nothing looks "suspicious" down there at all. But after living in Bangkok and Pattaya for 8 months...with numerous blackout nights...who the Hell knows what could be in there lol. Ive only been checked for HIV and Hep, but i know the others can show no symptoms at all. Just figured id prepare myaelf before MEPS lol:)

Granted you are a dude, but they also check for that STD with a 9 month incubation period and that takes 18+ years to go away.

I've known people with all kinds of shit (and been treated for some myself).. If you are not going to die or have health problems you should be OK. If its something that could be passed on through normal military actions.. That may be a problem.

I'm assuming you mean you have a permanent condition like herpes. Hopefully a doc can chime in but I don't remember any swabs or invasive tests. But if you got somethin obvious
goin on in the pumpkin patch somebody is gonna notice so don't hide it.

A shipmate here in Japan took a trip to Thailand, came back with an infection that made his cheek swell up like a golf ball.

Get yourself checked out before you go to MEPS please hahaha

Joking about "numerous blackouts" will get you DQ'd.

I'm assuming he was referring to power outages...

On a serious note, one of my FE's back in my tube slug days contracted AIDS from a woman(?) in Thailand. True story? Dunno, all I know is he is dead now. Wrap your willie everytime!!!!

Having been to both Bangkok and Pattaya, I doubt he is referring to power failures.
