Hi, do you have the exact report or is this it. Also why did you tested and when was this test done.
It does show positive hsv1 at 8 and but the hsv2 is a low positive at 3.4 and this might be a false positive or it might be a new infection. It would be recommended you test again in a few months for the hsv2 and it should be a different test than the first one like the biokit which is only for hsv2
hi! oh i didn't know the report could be longer, this was in my lab results with all the other regular stuff urine etc but i will ask the dr if there was a longer breakdown for just that...
that is what i was reading too that it is a low positive glad someone else confirms that. i read about that biokit test, i will ask if i can get that one done,
after reading about type 1 and how 80% of people have it and it so common i'm not that concerned about that one but type 2 is the one that has me very worried and if this pain i have been getting for over a month is that then i just don't know what to do cause those valtrex pills are not helping and the thought of going thru this every few months for the rest of my life has me in shock. thank you so much for your reply i will be testing again soon!
oh sorry i forgot to answer, the test was done a week and a half ago and because i had pain and irritation so she had me take pills like it was a bacterial infection or a yeast infection and none of that worked so i went back and noticed on one little corner what looked like a blister and painful but it was a bit different than my cyst not that much just a bit so that is why she finally tested since the meds didn't work also but the valtrex isn't helping either and the pain i get litterally feels like contractions inside my vagina, a painful pulling feeling as apposed to just on the outside/skin of the vagina..i can't get my head around feeling pain like contractions!! i am not pregnant so this should not be happing this often and i can't find anyone posting pain like this on any site j
hey life360 sorry for adding more info i was browsing your profile answers seems you know what your talking about and have helped so many! so thank you for that!
i was reading one of your post about the blister turns into a scab, i have yet to have that seems that area is not scabbing or maybe cause of where it is located due to moisture, it looks more like i got a cut or something and i didn't see the acutal blister according to the dr it looks like if it was a blister and it popped, this was on the 30th it's been 12 days,is scabbing a sign the outbreak is almost done once it does? and what does it mean if mines doesn't scab at all?
i appreciate any clarification :)
oh ok, i have body ache and flu like symptoms which i have always gotten sick easily but no fever yet in over a month.. but thank you so much for that!
Well scabbing is not the tell all to herpes as inside vaginal sore dont scab only outside ones. From what you describe now yours dont appear herpes related and more often than not after the sore pops the virus escapes and causes a cluster of them in the same spot.
yes that has not happened no clusters, no more anywhere around there, nothing just that one spot.
thanks so much life360 i will wait and retest again, i will test twice within the next 3 months just to compare the readings...
God i hope this was a false reading!
Thanks again you are awesome!!
If this is a new infection then often there would be fever and body aches as the body is mounting a strong defense in fighting the new virus.
Of couse all of this is pure speculation and what most important is that retest.
