i have taken an HSV testing on 2/24/10 and came possitive for HSV. im not sure if this is correct, i read so many forums and now im officially confused. I have never had any symptoms or signs so im scared, am i asymptomatic? the result states this:
HSV 1/2 IGG, HerpesSelect type ABS
HSV 1 IgG >5.00 H
HSV 2 IgG + 0.64
within the ranges this is really high.. But im thinkin to retest soon.. Am i infected with the genital or just cold sores. im confused? i have never had any cold sores... Im terrified too..
I had a bad yeast infection; first ever by the way, so i went to the doctors and got checked for the yeast and decided to get check for all the STD's and do blood work for them too.. U kno since i was already in the whole Pap
position.. So i get the blood work done and comes to find out i got detected for something.. Herpes
Im happy i got tested but not happy with the results... Im still unsure what herpes i have but i am still going to get tested again.. From what i read i see that HSV 2 is the worst to have but im not sure what HSV 1 is all about.. Im still uneasy about knowing all this..
