1. I noticed on my annual blood test my White Blood Cell count increased to 8.1 from 5.5 last year. Do you think it’s possible HSV2 entered my system and it’s caused this increase?
NO
2. I’ve seen on other threads you mention HSV2 can cause constipation and irritate the nerves in the genital area. Do the symptoms I mentioned seem to reflect that?
I don’t think so, no. These symptoms that I’ve noted are always with primary infection only.
3. Does having HSV-1 make it longer for HSV-2 to produce anti-bodies? Could that have made my negative test at 5 weeks false?
Only slightly, but you are still too early to count on these results, as we’ve discussed.
4. Based on everything I told you and explained in this thread, in your professional opinion and experience what would you say are my chances of my HSV-2 test being negative in terms of a percentage?
I don’t have a percentage, but I think HSV 2 is unlikely
