Reply To: Can I do the Western Blot in Canada?

[llp9240]

Do you mean ask my Dr. Clinic to reach out to the lab that did the igg hsv blood work for me?
Would the lab be where I went to get my blood drawn?? The reason I ask is because in Ontario hsv blood work goes to public health laboratories.. not sure if it’s the same in BC?

If you could clarify, that would be super helpful. I’m willing to try asking the physician who ordered it for me if as you said they could actually get the unit #s from the public health lab. That would be super helpful.

I have actually been ordering my hsv igg bloodwork through an online telehealth website already so I Would probably just ask him. but when you went through Maple, and got a requisition form do you mean you got a brand new requisition for an igg blood work and then asked that doctor if they could get the units from the lab?

Sorry for all the questions but thanks in advance for all of your help. Trying to navigate doing all this has been a hassle esp cause most people aren’t in Canada.

Did you also do the Western Blot? And how did you go about it? Like could you do it at lifelabs?
