herpes test IGG and bio kit taken

[simplyconcerned]

I went and randomly got tested in September ( the second week) for a herpes test. By suprise I received a call from my doctor saying I tested positive with hsv 2 (1.7gg was the score). I then got tested with the biokit usa a week later which didn't confirm anything. I took the test and it came back with a very very faint pink dot. The test provider informed me to treat it as a positive. Anyone have any suggestion of what to do, its driving me crazy.

the only other thing you can do at this point is find out what lab your clinic uses, call them specifically to see if the specimen is still there to be typed and then call your provider and insist that they add the typing to the specimen. darn shame when you have to do all the work yourself like this but it's the best way to get answers when you are falling outside of the expected norms of blood testing like this :(

Im guessing they gave me a culture, she took a q tip looking item and stuck it in a tube with pink solution. When she stepped out the room i looked at the bottom and seen two bubble lije items. On the paper it "stated hsv detected Positive "... Source "unknown". Then at the bottom it had my urina sample results " normal  floria " or something. Im at work and the paper is at home.

Are you sure they gave you a culture result? Because the whole "you've been exposed" speech (which is wrong, btw) is usually applied to blood tests.

Even if they don't type your specimen, make sure to get a copy of your recent results.

Sorry for typos replying from my phone

Thanks I will make sur next time. Something told me to call back and make sire they typed it but ,but i told her that before i left. When the nurse stated when i was there "you prob. was  exposed to the virus, but dont have it" , i shouldve known they would drop the ball.  All i can do is wait and jusy simply update you.

youre right its been a long drawn out deal that couldve been solved but i will get to the bottom one day.


Thanks grace ; }

@mistakeguy789 I understamd what you are saying. I used to think only way you get herpes is when someone had a outbreak (call.me crazy but i used to examine a penis before i had sex ) . I know i sound crazy huh lol...but i thought i was playing it safe in life.

It have been on my mind to have them retest (if he was ever tested)  since we are.still very close. I do see where you are coming from with the igg test. If the point value havent increased then of course i would still be in the dark unless i have a problem down there.

Thanks ; )
