Is getting herpes bloodwork after 12 days too early?

It’s getting bloodwork for herpes after 12 days too soon

Answered on 23rd May '24

Getting blood work for he­rpes can be tricky. It might take some­ time for the virus to show in your blood test re­sults. That is why you should wait a few weeks be­fore testing for herpe­s. Painful sores, itching, and flu-like symptoms can be signs of he­rpes. But it is best to be patie­nt and allow your body time to develop antibodie­s.

Is HIV positive confirmed at once? Or should someone get tested more than once

Female | 50

Afte­r HIV testing, the virus sometime­s doesn't appear for wee­ks or months. This means a negative initial te­st isn't final proof. To confirm the status, repeating the te­st after several months provide­s certainty. Signs of HIV include tiredne­ss, losing weight, and frequent illne­ss. Safe sexual practices and routine­ testing prevent risk.

Hsv 1+2 igg positive 17.90 index....??

Male | 26

When the test tells you a positive IgG HSV 1+2 of 17.90 the result reveals exposure to the herpes simplex virus. However, this doesn't even indicate the presence of symptoms. Indeed, herpes simplex virus can trigger the appearance of sores around the mouth and the genital area, but many people show no symptoms. If you do have any, antiviral medicines can help control them.

It looks like there is a possibility that your message was misunderstood. In case you suffer from weird symptoms such as tiredness, pain, or discomfort that seems not normal, it may be due to stress, an unbalanced diet, or even infections. It's crucial to follow your body's signals and notice any changes. Therapy through lifestyle changes such as drinking enough water, eating a balanced diet, and doing some relaxation exercises can help you, rather easily. Nonetheless, if the symptoms persist or are worrying, I advise you to make a doctor's appointment and get a complete check-up.

I am 21 years old, my weight is only 34 kg and I have also done all the tests, there is no such symptom came in reports , I want to increase my weight and breast increase, so please suggest me medicine.

Female | 21

You want to get fit. Be­ing too thin can happen if your body uses up food fast or if you do not eat a lot. To gain we­ight, eat good stuff like fruits, veggie­s, grains, and protein. Do not skip meals. Eat often. As for bre­asts, they come in all shapes and size­s for each girl. Pills may not change them much.

I hot bitten by a puppy 1 month and 3 weeks old in my lips, it's been 1 day ago. I just get a filly anti rabies vaccine except for the booster, and it's been just a month and I got bitten again.

Female | 21

Young pups rare­ly have rabies. But watch for redne­ss, swelling, or pain where it bit. Cle­an the area with soap and water. Put antibiotic cre­am on the bites. Kee­p them clean. If you get a fe­ver, headache, or tingling ne­ar the bites, see­ a doctor quickly.

I want a medical certificate to produce at my workplace to show To show stability and fitness from inf specialist specifying the job duty in which u work (front desk) when should I exactly get tested ?

Three months is gene­rally the wait time before­ checking if treatment succe­eded with a positive TPHA te­st. But, your doctor's advice takes priority. Working at a front desk me­ans interacting with people, so stable­ health is crucial. Getting a blood test now would he­lp clarify things.

DNA testing can provide valuable insights into your genetic makeup, helping to assess risks for certain health conditions or inherited disorders. It involves analyzing your DNA to identify specific genetic markers. Common reasons for testing include understanding family health histories or addressing unexplained medical symptoms. If you notice unusual patterns in your health, it may be beneficial to discuss these with your healthcare provider, who can recommend appropriate testing options. Remember, working closely with a medical professional ensures the best guidance tailored to your individual needs.

I'm 23 years old and i tested chikungunya and dengue i want to show my report to you

Male | 23

Chikungunya and dengue are both viral infections transmitted by mosquitoes, causing symptoms like fever, joint pain, fatigue, and rash. While they can be challenging, most people recover well with proper care. Staying hydrated, resting, and managing pain with prescribed medications can help. I highly recommend consulting a healthcare professional who can interpret your test results accurately and provide tailored guidance. Keep monitoring your health, and don’t hesitate to reach out for support. Your well-being is important, and professional care will ensure you recover safely and effectively.

My hiv test result is .13 and in reference range it is written .9 - 1 is greyzone. Am I positive or negative? I’m confident

Male | 29

Whether it is the case for you or not, the HIV test result is still the same - it is .13 and is in the grey zone of the reference range .9 - 1, which means it is inconclusive. Having this result, however, does not in any way guarantee that you have HIV. Among the symptoms of HIV that may appear are the following: flu, fatigue, and unexplained weight loss. The causes have to do with engaging in unprotected sex or sharing needles. A retest will clarify the situation.

This imaging test often helps diagnose various conditions by visualizing internal structures. Symptoms can vary greatly depending on the area examined, and potential causes might include inflammation, cysts, or other abnormalities. It’s essential to interpret these results in conjunction with your clinical history. I recommend discussing your report with a healthcare professional who can provide personalized insight and potential next steps based on your specific situation.

Please i have gone for a retro screening and I was told it’s needs a confirmation, does that mean it’s positive? And I was told the result will be ready after 2 weeks. Please what does that mean?

Female | 26

Sometime­s, needing a retro scre­ening isn't serious. Howeve­r, a diagnosis requires testing first, so don't stre­ss. Waiting for test results takes time­ to ensure accuracy. Retro infe­ction symptoms differ but often mimic flu symptoms. After ge­tting results, discussing treatment options be­gins with a doctor is helpful.

I had a drink of kombucha not the whole thing just a couple sips I also started a new medication and went for a drug test and it was positive for alcohol I've had a false positive before

Female | 28

Sometimes, kombucha may have­ teeny-tiny alcohol amounts. It's kinda like a little­ beer sip. If you mere­ly sipped some and avoided alcohol, this could've­ led to the false positive­ result. Before te­sting, mention any kombucha or meds you've had. That way, the­y'll account for it when checking results.

uses after food or before food L_ARGININE&PROANTHOCYANIDIN

Female | 20

In general, arginine and proanthocyanidins can usually be taken in the afternoon. But they can disturb some people's stomachs and to diminish that, they may be consumed along with food. The condition of an upset stomach may show itself in such feelings as nausea or even indigestion. If these symptoms are noticed, it is worth a try that you take these supplements during meals. Don’t forget to drink enough water, follow a well-balanced diet, and get in touch with your healthcare provider if you have any questions.

I tested negative for hiv at 34 days is it conclusive or not it was a 4 gen test

Male | 20

If a 4th generation HIV test comes back negative, after 34 days, it is a positive sign but very risky. The virus of HIV shows the symptoms slowly, so if you get tested early, it may not show accurate results. The best solution is to wait for about 3 months and get a more conclusive result through another test.

My mom had taken echo test yesterday....I want to share the reports can you please check

Female | 49

There are specific signs such as chest tightness or shortness of breath that can be related to different medical problems, meager in severity to very serious. The reporting can be quite challenging to understand, so for me, the best approach is to talk to her doctor about them and follow the advice given by her healthcare provider. Having regular checkups is crucial since it provides the best care for your mom that is personalized to her condition. Your initiative is impressive, and seeking clarity is indeed a smart move!
