HSV 1 test
by JArnt, Apr 11, 2008 05:36PM
Hey,
FINALLY, after much to do with ill informed Planned Parenthood staff, I decided to Re-Test for HSV. I was informed that the test performed was an old version of the test and that it would not pick up low positives. Great. Not amusing.
Therefore, I would like some advice about my LabCorp. HSV test (HerpesSelect IgG)
HSV 1: 1.3 Low Positive
HSV 2: .91 Negative
Are they correct? I believe I remember as a child that I got a cold sore (one on my lip and that it was really bad). Since then, I don't remember anything happening either on my lip nor down below. Can your body over time get rid of HSV 1 outbreaks? And, can I get it down below as well?
Thanks a bunch for your responses, I am quite prone to worry and suffer from anxiety and have a history of depression so ya, basically I think too much. That being said, I need honest and truthful opinions on this topic.
thanks
