Reply To: High HSV1=HSV2 False Positive?

[HSV2QUESTION]

Yes I confirmed with doctor twice and the lab tech that drew the sample tbat it was indeed the western blot test. She even showed me in the computer that it is indeed going to UW. The doctor was familiar with the test and says they send them out occasionally from time to time, mostly for HIV tho. Even my paper work says sample for western blot. I feel confident it’s going to Seattle (which I only live 4 hours from).

However, could you answer my question regarding having type 1 & 2 in the same location (in my case it would be orally). The doctor said this can happen and I’ve read nothing confirming that’s a thing. Is that indeed possible?

Thanks.
