The doctors told me to get tested again
Hello Grace, my doctor told me to retest at six months. I have cold sores. Why would the doctor tell me to re test at six months? Could it be cause my hsv 1 could sero delay my test result for hsv 2 from the exposure?
Thanks petal. Grace could you answer my question. It will really help me out. Thank you. Your a well informatant in herpes. Thanks again Grace.
She did answer you:
"you received oral sex. no reason for testing for hsv2. you are worrying needlessly."
"you received oral sex. no reason for testing for hsv2. you are worrying needlessly."
Grace could you just answer my posts and ill stop posting and asking the same thing. Ill really appreciate your time and respond. Thank you!
What made me worry of this was my numeric numbers because they raised for both hsv1 and hsv2. The hsv2 went up .31 after eight weeks from the last test. Just really worried/nervous. i know hsv2 is rare in oral sex but theres still a risk of contracting it. Thank you For your help Grace.
Grace, i would just like to know if having hsv 1 antibodies does it delay for hsv2 antibodies to show up on a blood igg test. If so how long to to wait to be sure i didnt get contract hsv2. Cause i read forums on here that says it does delay and read that journal on your profile too. Could you please answer my concerns on this. i would apperciate it a lot.
