Reply To: Can your numbers be affected if you had Epstein barr

[Nc1967]

Hi terry and thankyou I’ve been to 4 doctors including an infectious disease doctor and they all basically tell me that it’s just a skin rash get over it. I know they mention the cut off for a low positive is 3.5 if my numbers are 3.7 is this an indication that I’m most likely positive? I have made an appointment for a phone consult with you I definAtely want to get testing done..My reason about the Epstein Barr question is in my paperwork they wrote “heterotypic igm antibody responses may occur in patients with Epstein Barr virus and give a false hsv 1 and hsv 2 results.” Like I already said I know I have hsv 1 I had my first outbreak in my 20’s on my lip after being in the sun but have never had a genital outbreak that I’m aware of thankyou for your time and help..I’ve been losing sleep for over a month
