Thanks Terri. I am taking your advice regarding doing the test at 16 weeks. I thought I had Herpes, especially because of the red sores that my doctors said was herpes but I really in the end of the day, don’t truly know and just confused. I think they just gave me bad advice.

I am just a person who is not feeling well, trying to figure out what is going on with my health. To your point, I do want to rule out Herpes but the main thing I need to figure out is what I do have so I can treat it. So if it isn’t Herpes, trying to narrow down the possibilities of other ailments to get treatment, and ultimately, to get better.

I appreciate your offer about ordering the kit. I made an appointment with my provider for next week and will try to insist on getting the Western Blot which will contact you guys or UW.

Just so you know, I am very open. I will believe a 16 week test if you tell me that it is conclusive. Given what you said about PCR not being standard as a blood test, I will take your insight on that.

Just in case you are wondering, here is more info on it:
