Follow up questions:
1. Given I was on Valtrex for 24 days, can any of the blood test results outlined above be trusted?
That’s a bit long. If you do the blot, I would recommend waiting 14 weeks rather than 12 weeks. And I would say the same for the IgG if you decide to repeat that.
2. Given Valtrex, would my 12 week IGG next week be accurate or do I need to wait longer?
And my 5th question from the initial post wasn’t answered:
5. When can I do a Western blot test given the concerns about antivirals? Does having HSV1 also mean I need to wait longer to Western blot test because of delayed antibodies?
I recommend above that you wait 14 weeks and no more antivirals until you test unless you have an outbreak that has been confirmed as positive and typed. That will cover any concern about HSV 1 impacting the result as well,though that is covered in the 12 week period
