what to ask doctor

[freedomhere]

Hello, I have been scoring the web for two days ever since I heard I was positive..by blood with no symptoms. I was told to call if I had a breakout, that's it. What I have read has told me, I should not just leave it at that.

So, I am double checking before I call the doctor tomorrow. This is what I plan on asking, please tell me if there is anything I have missed..

1-what type of blood test? IGG or IGM

2-which type of test?

3-what are my level?

If it is in the gray range, 0,9 and 3,5, request new test by different company??

That about cover it??

Thank you

For (2) ask the manufacturer of the test, such as Herpselect. (3) Ask for the exact numeric results. Then add (4) What is the cutoff for positive.

From there you can decide if a retest is necessary. For example you are negative on IgG then you're probably clear of the virus.

Find out if you have HSV1 or HSV2!

Level is a 5.00, range .9- 1.10, on a IGG type specific test..they didn 't know manufacturer but with a marker that high my odds are nil to none...dang it...
