19 Yr Old Daughter HSV2-Sick to my stomache

[antnanna]

My daughter just recently went to her ob/gyn because she has had an issue with bacterial vaginitis. She performed STD testing on her, since it's been about a year ago of her last ones. She tested negative for the bacterial infection but positive for Chlamydia which in her test about 9 months ago was also present, she was treated at that time (he also was) with 4 azithromycin pills taken all at once. However,  I don't think her boyfriend and her at that time let the medicine work before they partook in extracurricular activity, thus her. Her HSV2 last year was negative too. Now the doctor says she has HSV2 at 2.59. I called and asked what test, they only informed me IGG from Quest. They said they no longer test for HSV1. My concern is, my daughter. She has not been able to stop crying, she is so distraught and I'm so heartbroken for her. I have been doing everything I can to inform myself on the condition. She has only been with this one boy and has not been with anyone in about 7-8 months, seeing they broke up then. I'm so upset with her doctor for only spending only a couple minutes with her to tell her she has genital herpes, handed  her a pamphlet on stds , told her if you a have break out (which she never has had)come and see me and I'll treat you and make sure you let any partners know.
  I made her an appointment with another ob/gyn to see if we can get the biotech or western blot test done. My questions are, should I let her know that she does fall in the gray area? Or should I let her start to try and come to terms that this may be a part of her life from now on? I'm scared to give her false hope, though every part of me is praying that it's a negative. Should I have the doctor also do another IGG? All three tests? If this doctor is an idiot like her last doctor, how do I find one that specializes in this field, in our area? Also, if it is positive what can I do for her to start to accept herself and not be so depressed, I'm very worried about her, and I find myself just repeating what I've told her, she won't even research anything. I try to explain that knowledge is power. she says it's a nightmare and she just wants to die and her life is over.

you can't just get the WB through quest. they no longer offer it. you have to order the kit and have it sent to your house or your doctor to have it drawn by your local lab and sent out.

make sure she reads the free herpes handbook we refer to in our read before posting post as well as watches the video by Terri on it too. both are very helpful and have info she'll need to know if she confirms her status as positive.

I've told her alot of info about this, except the gray area. She dont want to talk about it. She hasnt been with anyone in over 7 months or so. Just wondering if only certain quest labs do the WB.

Also, thank you for your advice

why wouldn't you share with her the info you've found out?  It'll help her make further testing decisions and be informed whether she ends up testing + for herpes or not.

At this point, she should seek out a herpes western blot blood test 4 months after she last had sex with this partner to confirm her status. that will test for hsv1 and hsv2 both ( it's very important to know both ) as well as figure out if she had a false positive or not.
