Enbrel and herpes test results

[yal363]

I am on Embrel treatment for my psoriasis and I got test foe STD's and everything came out negative, but the herpes came: IGG I : 0.28which is negative but the IGG II : 3.62, but I just remember that a day before the test I had an embrel. Can the Embrel affect the result of the test?

Just wonder if right after sex, if wash with alcohol would help to no spread the disease?

no, bv doesn't cause false positives on herpes igg blood testing either.

follow up with the WB 4 months after the last time you had sex with anyone and go from there.

Ok! I went back to the gym and he told me that the pap results show a "vaginitis bacteriana" something like that, I told him i want to re test for herpes to make sure. But I wonder, can a "vaginitis bacteriana" give a false positive for herpes 2 igg 3.62? I don't want to have to much hope!

No reasons at all. Just wanted to make sure I had no STD after knowing that my ex was unfaithful. My body have been thru so much the past few month, I lost a baby, and after that I been having few yeast infection wich I'm not use to and that s is why I ask my doctor, the gyn said, that didn't look like herpes and gave me Terazol and it got better. Btw I just realize that the day I test I had an enbrel a day before but I was also on Terazol treatment. Would that make a change? Im really worry,I have no partner right now, but I was talking to a guy and I been distant, I don't how to handle this.

not that I"m aware of it won't.

your hsv2 igg is a low positive and will need confirmed with further testing. we recommend the herpes WB blood test.

was there a particular reason why you tested?
