plasma donation center testing

Hello all.

My GF and I are starting to get serious. We have been sort of dating for a while, and have fooled around, done a lot of kissing, but have not yet had sex. We agreed to get tested for the main, incurrable stds before having sex.

I was wondering if plasma centers tested for hsv, and if they would tell you if you had it. I donated plassma twice with no problems or notification.

I have became paranoid when reading up too deeply(according to my gf) on  some stds. I read that one can get back aches if they have herpes. Well, since I was 20-ish, I have had sort of a recurrent sciatica. It has faded over time. I have never had an std. I have never had any lesions on my genitals or mouth, and have never been with someone who has had lesions. But, after reading the bach ache part, I have been a little paranoid.


So, if I had anything, ahem, Herpes, ahem, would the plasma center notify me?


Thank you very much and have a nice day/night.

Plasma centers test for hepatitis, syphilis and HIV. They do not test for herpes as it is not a blood borne infection.

This is what I was thinking. But, my brother asked what they test for(I think he may have been thinking the same way I am now, but not nearly as obsessive/paranoid), according to my brother, the person said, "We test for everything, so you'll know if you have anything." I have also read online that plasma places do not want you to donate within 3 weeks of an outbreak, so this made me think they would test for Herpes, as well.


The only problem is, I can never believe the positive things, I expect the worst,lol.

So why not just you and your gf both get tested  and get it over with so that you can relax about this?
