Reply To: Question and Advice about Low Positive IGG after 7.5 weeks

Hi Terri,

Thanks for responding.

In the beginning she told me that she tested clean for everything. However, since I’ve read that some doctors won’t usually order the herpes test unless there is some evidence of lesions. In speaking with the doctors mentioned above, they wouldn’t even prescribe suppression medication, so I’m going to avoid sexual contact with my partner until I figure this out. I haven’t spoken about the situation to her yet, though I know that talk has to come, especially if I do come back positive.

Knowing that I can have your clinic set up a Western Blot test is reassuring, especially since going on a wild goose chase in Chicago has proven to be tiring and anxiety-inducing. I’ll definitely be calling the clinic. A question though: Is 8 weeks too early for a Western Blot, or can I go ahead and give the call asap?

Thanks,
