Reply To: Biotin and vitamin d

[jakyki3@gmail.com]

Hello I am a 27yo female tested positive for hsv1 and equivocal for hsv2 then got a value of 1.00 for hsv2 through labcorp

I read on reddit that biotin and vitamin d may skew results I take them everyday is that the same for the western blot?

I also have gotten an mmr vax before the blood draw for the westernblot will this affect anything?

Also my boyfriend with a very low immune system is scared to catch it. I never had an out break of either hsv 1 and 2 and would hate to give it to him. Should I consider supplemental antivirals when we are together ? Our relationship os long distance currently.

Hello Terri just want to make sure you see my question. Also I guess my Dr. ran HSV 1 and 2 DNA on me when I went to get my blood draw for the western blot which is being proccessed now. And they both came back negative. I am very happy about. Does this mean I am negative for both or nrgative for an outbreak?

Also would you reccommend suppresive therapy when I see my boyfriend if I am postive? and how long before I see him should I take it?

Also my lab results for hsv 1 igg came back as a 42 what does this mean?

And my 3 year old daughter at 55.30. Does the higher the number mean current out break?

I mever recall ever having an out break and for her she had the tiniest pimple looking bump on her lip that eventually disappated with no lesion scar or open blister so I was surpised both of us were + and me being + for hsv2 threw me for a loop.
