I can not say Thank you enough. I have been reading different post and in process have learned that knowing my test results are important. I will be calling tomorrow and getting them. This site is very helpful and I am so Thankful for it.
Thank you for your time, it is greatly appreciated.
I understand your frustration. Doctors act like herpes isn't a big deal because, medically, it's not. In 99% of cases, it's just a nuisance. Psychologically though, it can be very damaging.
Do you have the numbers for the test? The IgG is fairly accurate, but false positives can happen. The test examines the count of HSV antibodies and sometimes the numbers are in a gray area.I would try not to stress yourself out too much until you get your boyfriend's results. If negative, then explore other testing options. Many conditions are confused with herpes and vice versa
In the meantime, just remind yourself that herpes isn't a death sentence and regardless of your results, your boyfriend will be supportive of he's worth it
