Thanks for the quick reply! No, my partner has not been tested, so we’re going off her asymptomatic history. As for the swabbing, it’s always hard for me to do that because you need to get in with the doctor almost same-day. The one time that happened, he looked at it and said it just looked like a pimple and there was “nothing to swab”. I’d be open to a Western Blot, but is it covered at all by medical insurance?
Question #2 would be: what exactly is it that is concerning about my results? Is it actually something about the values themselves, or just the thought that I might be one of the 1-out-of-10 misses?
Thanks!
