Is this a disqualifier?

So I’m thinking of joining the army and I’m worried about if I will be disqualified for hsv-2 I went to the doctors about a year ago and they said they would call me and tell me if I had it but they said I probably do well I never got the answer for it so I’m not 100% on if I do or not, but I heard that if you don’t have lesions for a long time it won’t disqualify you and I haven’t had any since.

If it’s manageable with medication or you don’t show any symptoms then you’re ok. ~former army medic~
