a pap test only looks for abnormal cervical cells. it's not std testing!
hmm...thats very scary. thanks for your advice and i'll definately keep you posted.
no it can not be better tested through a pap test.
Honestly, I'm not quite sure. Like I said, she tested for everything, so the test results come in as they are tested, meaning I'm not getting all results at one time...more like every other day I recieve a new result.
I have to go back for a pap smear this Friday. Can HSV be better seen this way?
ok then we don't have to encourage you to retest again later :)
were you also igg tested for herpes?
I hadn't been to the doctor in a couple of years, and that was my first time having a physical in those years, so I just had her to test for everything. She did the choloesterol and everything.
No questionable encounters.
the igm test for herpes is a very flawed test. current CDC testing recommendations advise against its use for adults for the purpose of diagnosing herpes infections.
why did you get tested? did you have a questionable encounter? if so, how long prior to testing had that been?
