3 months is 93% confirmatory i believe. Also, The CDC as well as Focus Tech. (makers of Herpeselct) say 3 months is confirmatory. I have talked personally with both of them. Hope this helps.
H2O2 is what they use for non-chlorine bleach dear. Not diluting it and douching with it 2x/day is never a good idea. Were you directed to do so by a gyn or was this something you did on your own?
