Western blot
Hello
I'llsstart with a small back story back when I was 18 my first serial experience was with a man who raped me and from this I got herpes. I went for the initial rape test then back to my doctors for further testing this getting the positive result. I had a small spot at thay time. It never hurt and had no symptoms ect. At the time I was also diagnosed with hpv. Fast forward eight years I have never had an outbreak I've never taken medicine and everytime I test the positive number are low. My last test results were 3.1. I have looked high and low called and talked to multiple doctors and noone has heard of Western blot for herpes testing. I've read online I can order it myself but have to have someone to draw my blood. I'm kind of fuatrated cause most doctors say herpes it's not that big of a deal. But it is to me and I want to know. I know people sometimes never show symptoms but I want to know once and for all. Why is this test so hard to find and can anyone help? I've only ever told one partner I had it and it wound me in the hospital it's so scary to deal with and while I have versed myself well on the subject and can accept it either way I just want rest.

And once I do that do they tell youwhat to do? It was my iunderstanding I had to find someone (a lab) to agree to draw my blood. I called quest they said they didn'toffer the ttest I mentioned if I brought it in they said they didn't do that. (sorry for typos I'm on my phone)
Hi, call the lab at the university and they will tell you how to do it by mail.
