Thank you for talking to me today. I know you can't tell me that I'm not infected, but I feel much better and hopeful for the first time.
It takes two days for the lab in Seattle to communicate with your local lab so I'm afraid not. Sorry! I'm not in the office until tomorrow.

Terri,
I found the phone number for your clinic. I have an appointment with you thursday.
Is there anyway to get the test done this week though? I know it will take 2 to 3 weeks to get the results, but could I at least get in and get the blood drawn.
Thanks. Ok.
I understand, can you just tell me how to get the western blot test? Do I call your office and they can tell me where to go get the blood drawn near me?
Honestly, I don't know exactly what to tell you. I didn't see the bump near your mouth. I didn't see her cold sore. I just don't have enough information to give you adequate advice on this.
I told you about the western blot. If you want to spend the money to find out your actual status, that is the test you need.
This will be my last post on this thread

Thank you Terry.
I think I'm so concerned because I found out about her cold sore, even though it was healed enough that make up hid it pretty well. and everything seems to say that if you kiss someone with a cold sore (from beginning to end) that you will get it.
If I was your patient would you tell me to just move on, or to get the additional test?
I don't really want to spend a bunch of money that I don't need to. But since you are an expert I thought I would ask. If you tell me no need to worry I will move on now.
