You're welcome. Let us know what you find out.
Reactivation means the antibodies created by your body have flared back up to fight the EBV virus. This is fuzzy for me though because some people have what could be considered a reactivation and not feel anything in the way of symptoms while other people, such as myself, can have numerous symptoms. Your test indicates that EBV is kicked up in your system, but it might not mean too much if you don't feel symptoms, which would probably suggest your immune system is functioning properly.
One more question what does reactivation means in my particular case with all those pluses
nonreactive = negative
= )
I don't know of the relation between HIV and EBV as I don't think there is one. I'm not an expert on the reading of your results, but it appears you have EBV and not HIV. I'm assuming "nonreactive" for the HIV screening means your blood test did not react accordingly to be HIV positive. Of course, the absolute best thing to do is consult with your doctor when she is back in the office.
Hi ott70 thank you for a quick responce can this be somehow related to HIV infection if I have one? I had a risky sexual contact on October 5th can this be related?
Looks like you have been exposed to Epstein Barr like about 90% of the population. Your results hint that your body could be fighting a viral infection now, but I guess it depends on if you are having symptoms. Some people have high titer amounts and feel nothing and others feel sick all of the time. Unless you directly have a bout of acute mono, like what teenagers typically get, then things will be clear as mud when discussing the reactivation of EBV with a doctor. Most doctors will tell you that you need to ride the virus out, which can work for some people and not so much for others.
I wouldn't freak out about it. Chronic EBV can be a pain to deal with if that's something that you actually have, but I would suggest doing something fun this weekend and not freaking out about it. There's really nothing you can do between now and when you see your doctor next to discuss if your EBV results are actually a factor for you. Your test results would not concern any doctor that you need to be seen right away. In fact, a lot of doctors will probably shrug off those results.
I don't know if you can see it on the picture I put in but it says:
