I don't believe that they will do one from a specimen from another country.
I'd look online for a local herpes group in your area and find out what confirmatory options are in your area.
Honestly it's not unusual that you are hsv1+. No blood test will tell you where it's located. really not any reason for additional testing with blood tests.
As I don't know my test numberic value I'll test with someother clinic after 3 months, there is no westrn blot herpes test available in SIngapore. Is there any other way to take westrn blot test?
This may doesn't make sense but I just to know, possible to order western blot kit from University of washington.( I live in Singapore, I think the specimen has to reach them a over night) http://depts.washington.edu/rspvirus/herpes.htm
Hi
Grace
I understand that its very hard to find whether I have herpes 1 on my genital area or not unless if get recurrence sore.
I just came from clinic, Doc said coccobacilli is normal bacteria and no need of treatment.
Description: Gram stain(Urethral smear)
Report Details: Urethral smear
Pus cells:0-4 Epithelial cells:0-4 per hpf
fewgram +ve coccobacilli
no way to know if it's new or old infection 1 month into things.
if you get a recurrence of genital symptoms you can get them cultured again and typed to see if they are hsv1. Otherwise not too much you can do to figure out if your hsv1 is oral or genital if you can't recall a history of cold sores ever.
I forgot to mention that He didn't give oral medicines! Please advice me
Grace
Today I got the bad news
1. Herpes virus IGG Ab I-positive
2. Herpres virus IGG Ab II- Negative
Tested on 4th Oct( 4th week after exposure) I did ask the Doc about numberic value but they un able to provide. Left no choice now! Can I assume this old infection? I need to find some other clinic where I can get numberic value.
As I have other symptoms they did penis skin Scarpe and urine test and I also asked them to test for Hep A,C IGG.
Doc gave B Braun(0.9% sodium chloride Injection B.P(mini-Plasco) asked me to clean my penis with this and apply " Biotine ointment(Teracycline hydrochiloride 3.0%).
My doc said my urine and scarpe test was normal but after I collect my result copy I found one of my result says
Description: Gram stain(Urethral smear)
Report Details: Urethral smear
Pus cells:0-4 Epithelial cells:0-4 per hpf
few gram +ve coccobacilli
Is it says positive?. I'm going to call the clinic tommorow about this test. I can't understand what its says. Help me
At this point wait for your test results to come back. if your lesion culture is negative, follow up with a type specific herpes igg blood test 3 months after the last time you had sex.
