Let me rephrase that question…
Would testing three weeks after possible presence of symptoms, in this case an OB, give me an accurate result of whether there is a presence of antibodies or not?
Does having symptoms imply presence of antibodies? Or can there be a gap of time, between the moment OB showed up until antibodies show up.
I hope I am not being confusing. That tiny wound worried me and my results came back negative 5 months after exposure. After doc gave me results, she said no need for further testing and that even with my HSV1 status, this results are conclusive for HSV2. She says that under very unusual circumstances antibodies production is delayed at this point..
Your help is greatly appreciated as always nurse Terri.
