Reply To: Western Blot?

[Terri Warren]

Your HSV 2 could definitely be a false positive and you definitely need a herpes western blot to clarify your situation. With your value of 1.70, there is about a 85% chance that this is a false positive, which means there is still at 15% chance that it could be a true positive. Plenty of time has passed for you to obtain the test now – we like 16 weeks and by my count, that’s about what has gone by since your last sexual encounter with him.

Is that helpful?
