Hi All,
I'll add my developing experience to this great thread!
http://www.medhelp.org/posts/STDs/HSV2-symptoms-HSV2-IgG-false-positive/show/1778022#post_comment
A year ago, I tested negative for both HSV1 and 2 with Herpeselect. A few weeks ago, I tested negative for HSV1, but positive for HSV2 with a result of 1.93.
The symptom I illustrated in my post turned out to be an ingrown hair. So I'm doubtful that I've ever had an outbreak.
I've seen two doctors, both of whom indicated that their offices do not do either WB or Biokit. I am getting very frustrated because neither of these doctors believe that false positive results are likely. They discourage me from getting a WB or Biokit because they are highly confident that the results are accurate.
I could use advice on how to find a doctor who offers these tests. I've called several doctors whose offices indicate that I need to schedule an appointment before they tell me if they can do the tests.
I would be grateful for any advice and what your sense is of my situation. Should I be hopeful of this being a false positive or should I trust my doctors? This roller-coaster of emotions and mixed opinions has been quite tough.
Thanks!
