MY EX HAS NEVER HAD A SYMPTOMATIC OUTBREAK BUT SHE IS GETTING INDEX VALUES BETWEEN 1.0-2.5. MY VALUE WAS AT 1.3 WITH OUTBREAKS.

WHAT ARE THE CHANCES OF A FALSE POSITIVE?

well obviously that's not really workin' for you is it?

Stop the topicals and switch to daily suppressive therapy with one of the herpes antivirals ( valtrex, acyclovir or famvir ) and your ob's should go down to 2 or 3 a year instead of monthly.

tea bags help reduce swelling and pain, they don't reduce ob's.

are you on daily suppressive therapy?
