That is a low positive index value and needs confirmation. What lab did the test? Was any confirmatory testing done? Did anyone evaluate the bump in person? This could be a false positive or a real positive, but you need to wait 12 weeks before doing the western blot which is the test you really need to sort this out.
So what you need to do is arrange the blot – get the kit from UW and talk with your own provider to see if they will do it and if not, I can work with you to get it.
We can’t know anything yet.
