Do I Have Oral Herps (hsv1)?below Are My Blood Results:oops: Posted: 10-30-07 14:41pm
Dear Doctor,
I have went for blood test to check for
HSV1 and below were the results.
SEROLOGY
TEST RESULT REFERENCES RANGE
HSV Ab IgG 0.87 <1.0
HSV Ab IgM 0.29 <1.0
From the results above do you think I have
HSV1, I have sometimes a red pimple on my
face that last for three-1 week. I went to
a doctor and showed my blood results to
him then he said I don't have HSV1, but
when I had that pimple he came back to me
and told me you have HSV1, I don't know
which one to believe, the blood results or
the doctor, my fiance is scared to kiss me
or let me do oral sex to him because he is
scared to get infected. if me and him we
have HSV1 will we spread the diseases on
our genitals?
Can you please answer

You need to talk to your doctor about it-
a pimple on your face doesn't usually mean
herpes, but you need to make sure you are
clearly communicating with your doc. My
guess is no, because usually when they
send you the results and not a phone call
or something you aren't infected. But you
need to check.

Well, first I showed him my results he
told me you are not infected with HSV1.
but I had like a cold sore above my mouth
away from my lips and he then told me u
have cold sore, now I don't feel
confidence in him because he said
something then he changed it later.....
So based on the blood results do i have
Herps simplex 1 virus or not?

I don't know how to read blood results,
but a cold sore does not mean herpes. I'd
just call him up and tell him you're
confused.
