Thanks Terri,

I will be setting up the appointment to do the western blot through you.
However, I do not see any availability. Will this be updated soon?

Just a few last questions as I’ve decided since I can’t let this go the blot will give me the answers I need.

This week I am also going to get my back looked at in case my pain is back related as that is how these symptoms started.

1. I have had reacurring BV since getting an IUD (I’ve since then gotten this removed last week) the only genital symptoms I get sometimes is a minty burning feeling down there but I am still on antibiotics for BV. Would an HSV2 primary outbreak present as just burning with no sores/lesions or burning while urinating? Or is this most likely my BV infection?

2. I saw a post on how valtrex affects blood results. Does it cause false negatives? Or false positives? In either case, how long does one have to take it for that to affect blood work results??

3. Above you said outbreaks can present in many ways, if my symptoms somehow were an outbreak, would it last for over 27 days? Even after taking valtrex?

4. In the case that the test comes back intermediate, what are the steps to go about then?

Thanks so much!
