I paid to post this on the ask the dr. forum only this morning, but because I haven't heard back (which is reasonable) I am stressing and anxious. Can anyone help me with this?
.Hi there, thank you for answering my question.
As part of a routine well women exam, I requested complete STD testing. I have never had symptoms nor been treated for any prior STDs. I was shocked when the Dr.s nurse called and revealed that I tested postive for HSV2. I asked if she was certain, as I have had cold sores since childhood, but never a genital outbreak. After I settled from the initial phone call, I called back and asked for the specifics of the results. She stated that my IgG level indicated that I had been in contact with the HSV2 virus at some point. I asked for the specific level and she stated ".92" I understand that you can be a carrier without demonstrating symptoms, but with my history of +HSV1, I am not convinced that I "am postive for HSV2". Can you please help me? I can't describe the sense of anxiety I am feeling.
Thanks!
SG .
how long prior to your testing had you last had sex?
