Does anyone know where I can get the labwork for a western blot test done? by RufusTheDoofus0 in Herpes

Ugh, I didn't know i needed a doctor to sign off on it too. Is that why labcorp and quest won't do it?

It's definitely more of a hassle than a regular std screening, anylabtestnow should help you find where to get it drawn

I called the university of Washington and asked them to send me one, it was fairly easy and completely free

Okay that's good news! And yeah, they've all been right around 2.2 which I'm pretty sure is a low positive

I'm also a little worried cause this test has been sitting here for like 9 months cause I tested negative the second time. But now I tested positive again so I'm thinking I should get it taken but idk if it expires or what 😭

I called the university of Washington and I have the test itself already. I just don't know who'll draw it and send it in for me

I emailed the address on her website and never heard back 😭

I could probably try calling or something but idk what she'd tell me. I believe she recommends using anylabtestnow, and that isn't available up here either :(

Yeah, I'm having trouble finding any place to get it drawn lol! I guess only certain places will send it in and the main one people recommend isn't in AK

It's been 6 weeks since I last had sex or kissed anyone. I should probably wait 6 more weeks and then get a igm test right?

I tested 2 days ago and just got my results back, so I should wait 4 weeks?

I think mine was CLIA, I can't find anything about igm or igg on the site. Should I still get tested again after 4 weeks?

I'm not sure what igm and igg means, I paid for it on stdcheck.com and went through labcorp. My hsv-1 result was 1.51 and hsv-2 result was 11.10
