Western Blot

The doctor's office called and told me that the WB for both HSV1 and 2 were positive.   I asked if there were numbers, (i.e. 3.5 from an IGG), and I was told they just tell you if it's positive or negative.  The test was performed by the Univ. of Washington.

Is this correct?  Or do I need more info?

Thank you for your help...

Also, does anyone know a good STD doctor in OH?

well if symptoms return, be seen and get properly tested to make sure you know for sure what is going on the next time.

Grace, I wasn't tested, but I had a pill left over from taking an antibiotic back in the fall that I didn't use then and thought I would take it.  It worked...

bv is common in us gals in general.

having bv makes you more likely to contract a std, including herpes.

having herpes doesn't mean you'll get bv more often.

make any sense?
