1. Can you please explain more about what the research says about index levels? Especially in regards to my high index level of 11.1. I truly do not recall a time I’ve had any symptoms or outbreak. Is that unusual with high index levels or could my antivirals be keeping them away?
Research would say that it is very likely that an index value of 11.1 would confirm as positive by western blot but in the past week, I had someone with a 13.8 not confirm, so I’m not convinced that we can count on those high index values all the time
2. Does this index level correlate at all to a higher rate of shedding and/or transmission?
No, no relationship between shedding, transmission and index values
