Reply To: Does Valtrex affect Herpeselect IGM test primary episode

[tinglered]

I mainly only took the Valtrex for those first 10 days.

I had the second blood test yesterday and I did take a single 1 gram Valtrex about 2 hours prior to the test but that was the first Valtrex since the initial episode.

Will 7 weeks since possible exposure be enough time to develop IGG antibodies for an accurate test?
And so you are saying put zero stock in the original IGM ‘Negative’ results? They were giving me hope but I guess I do not need false hope.
And even though you say ignore the IGM; I a curious does Valtrex effect the blood testing? I cannot find any info online regarding this.

Thanks for the quick response!
