Inhibition assay

Okay, so I went for the Focus herpes inhibition assay.  I can't really afford the WB right now, and I can't really wait that long after all this waiting.  We're pretty much at the 6 month mark at this point.  You know my Herpeselect tests have been coming back negative, but my symptoms are persisting despite my dermatologist's treatment.  I want to trust her non-herpes diagnosis, but I also know visual diagnoses are not necessarily to be relied upon.

So here's my question:  If the Focus Inhibition Assay (17170) comes back negative at this point, is there a margin for error, or can I safely assume that I have one of the other bizarre skin conditions my dermatologist and I have discussed...and not herpes?

My doctors are not up to speed on testing, so I can't ask anyone else.  Please just let me know.  I can't stand being in the dark like this with doctors not knowing how to advise me.  Sorry for pestering.  I'm just so over the stress of this situation.  I want to feel better already.  Thank you.

Best,

Please, can someone please answer my question.  I don't have any other resource to turn to right now, and I don't know whether what I'm doing is going to get me an answer to my health problem.  I'm trying my best, but I feel like I'm just shooting in the dark.  Please help!
