Good news! My blood test came back negative for HSV! My doctor still can't explain the positive swab back in 2009 by an albeit disinterested, lackluster, and utterly disappointing doctor at the time. The disappointing news is that he said it's possible that there's a 1% chance that my body didn't develop antibodies and recommended a vaginal swab if I have recurrent symptoms. Is it even possible for the body to not develop antibodies? He put me on 500mg Valtrex since he suspected HSV, but I honestly have seen little to no improvement in my symptoms (urinary discomfort/pain, abdominal tenderness--recent tests confirmed no UTI, vaginitis, vaginosis or trichinosis either, but chronic history of vaginal issues and UTI symptoms--sometimes with or without bacteria).
He recommended that I follow up with the urologist, but I feel like I'm not out of the woods yet if, 6 years later, my blood test came back negative for antibodies. Any thoughts?
