Health Providers

I was at a doctor yesterday that said she only diagnosis by culture. Doesn't use the blood tests because they are "all over the place" as she put it. I asked lots of questions and tried to share with her. Is there a simple print out maybe from Terri Warren that I could share with health care providers.  This is the fourth time I have run into this.  One doctor said he doesn't do the blood test because he didn't like dealing with the people when the hsv1 results come back positive.

The cdc 2010 std guidelines has an entire section on herpes testing. google it and print it out for your provider(s).

if you are in the US, you can order up your own testing through healthcheckusa.com or tstd.org or similar places.
