Yes, the computer didn’t catch it by you are well over the three questions. Please pay for three more questions and you have used them all already, by the way, with this last post from me.

Oh boy. There are errors here all over the place. So he did a pap of your cervix and it came back suggestive of herpes. First of all, a pap, when not used to look for cancer, simply looks for a type of cell called giant cells with many centers. I wonder if he could be confusing HPV and HSV? Can you get please get an actual copy? It certainly could never type the virus and it is not great at diagnosing herpes – there are false positives and false negatives using a pap smear. However, having said that, I think it is important that you get a clear diagnosis. Without a sore to swab specifically the best test is a herpes IgG antibody test. You do not need IgM testing ever. You can order your IgG test online through a number of different services. I recommend healthcheckusa.com as one option.

If you are positive, I fear that you are going to need a different doctor to prescribe your antiviral therapy, at least it sounds that way to me.
