herpes test IGG and bio kit taken

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.

NOW that thats out the way. My QUESTION is now that i know im not going to get anywhere from my primary's office, would my next course of action be a good idea (since i havent had any recent exposure incidents)

While i wait for another problem genitally to occur, retake a WB (waited 15 weeks last yr for first test) and wait for the results. If the results come back positive then thats my answer, if neg. then continue to wait to take a culture.


When i do take another culture do i ask for a pcr test this time? Also dont worry i want be engaged in any sexual.activity no time soon.

Let's not have fighting please.

No one in this community (or any other member community) needs to be a medical professional. We do have a Herpes Expert forum if you'd like an expert opinion.  That said, many of our members are extremely knowledgeable, and as was stated earlier in this thread, often know more than some docs.

Please also remember that people cope with health issues differently, and that it is still possible to offer advice and support even if those coping mechanisms differ.

lets keep the smart comments to ourselves thanks in advance. Only THING i.wanted.to know was do i repeated WB until i have another problem. Of course if the wb comes up positive then duh no need to wait for another culture... If not then i will chalk up the 150 dllr loss.

I never stated i would take your advice, nor making a statement me and you sleeping together was needed. Besides i highly doubt thought i dont have sex outside of a rship. What im stating is UNTIL I HAVE ANOTHER problem only thing i can rely on is a blood test. I cant call.Emory lab myself so i relied on my doctor office. Of course i want to know thays why i called them back today after not hearing a.response. Lab tech said they cant type.the test which is incorrect. The medical assistant at my.doctors office had my doctor call me and she stated she havent herd back from Emory lab.

Also keep your.neg comments to yourself i wouldnt DARE sleep.with u or no one else right now, thats not even me. Now you.have rubbed me the wrong.way. I understand youre stating the cdc guidelines but if theyre acting dumb.founded. If you read what i stated earlier.my.doctor doesnt even know much about hsv
