Hi Terri,

I’m on week 13 post possible exposure and will be taking another igG test within next 2 weeks. I tested negative at 6 and 9 weeks. I wasn’t given any numerical values; is that normal? I was hoping to be able to know if my antibody levels had risen. Should I do my third test at this same lab or go to a different one? I live in NY so can’t get the Western blot and am waiting to hear from your office about participating in your study. Or maybe I should drive to mass and try and get it done there?

Also, I think I’m finally getting over my primary oral outbreak. is it normal to just have a swollen, raw, inflamed, dry, peeling lower lip which has lasted a solid two months. I also think I had swollen lymph nodes and fever for a day in December. I’m not sure but I don’t think I ever had sores in my mouth just a cluster of white spots on my gum which are still there and don’t hurt. Does this sound like a primary oral OB? When can I expect my first cold sore? Does decaf coffee have anything to do with triggering OB’s?

I also have rosacea-related acne. Should I be worried that it has spread to my cheeks? I’m also still worried that I may have somehow transferred to my genital area. I had quite a bit of milky white discharge recently and don’t feel like I have a yeast infection. I went to my gyn for a checkup and she swabbed my cervix which hurt like a sharp pain which is unusual. Does this sound like herpes?

Thank you again
