I was also on antibiotics daily for acne when i took the western blot, not sure if that would effect my results?
no it will not affect your results.
congrats on being negative.
thank you, so thats it? No more testing needed im definatly negative?
shouldn't you be dancing in the streets with joy?
i just want to be sure, then u bet ill be dancing
Is there ever going to b a definate answer?
sounds like it's all good to me. go dance!
Thanks, i guess i need to stop worrying, i wish these tests were more accurate and i wouldnt have to feel this way in the first place
or maybe we shouldnt test people routinely
Is this something i should tell my next partner or my obgyn when/ if i decide to have children?
you are negative for herpes - that is the part to discuss with your next partner. also discuss their testing too since odds are they won't have ever have been tested for herpes before.
when you are pregnant, you should have a herpes blood test done at the beginning of your pregnancy and your partner at that time should be tested too. Best to use the herpes WB for yourself for future testing due to your part false positive issues with other testing too.
ok, thank you grace for your time and responses
Im confused now, i got my bill im the mail for the western blot and the codes are 86695 and
86696 but my results from my dr says hsv westerb blot (hswb) negative for antibody hsv-1 and hsv-2 by western blot. Where do i go.from here? I saw in a previous post of yours that these codes are wrong?
Really dear, move on from herpes! You're trying hard to hang on to it!
