Herpes outbreak

[sunnytiti]

Hi,

I have a recurrent outbreaks every 2-3 weeks make me very deppressed. I do not take any midication.

Does anyone get outbreaks every 2-3 weeks?

Thank you.

So the WB has a 5% false negative not 1% now?

She meant the 5% figure is for the Western Blot test. It's a different type of blood test than the ELISA IgG and it's considered the gold standard.

I dont have insurance. I used to go to stds health department.

You didnt answer my question yet!!!
The 5% for all kind of blood test or just the herpeselect.

Thank you

it's not likely you are the 5%. be seen every time you have symptoms. a dermatologist is the best person to follow up on this with.
