Thank you :) yal are so amazing and so helpful. I checked the link for MayoClinic. Blood tests are good to check for HIV and Hepatitis. Syphilis is tested by blood sample and/or swabbing genital sores. Chlamidia and gonorreah screening is done through urine or swabbing the insides of your private parts. Pap tests and HPV tests are used to test for HPV. Pap tests, which check the cervix for abnormal cells, are recommended every two years for women between ages 21 and 30. Women age 30 and older can wait three years between Pap tests if their past three tests have been normal.

Samples for the HPV test are collected from the cervical canal. This test usually isn't offered to women younger than 30 because HPV infections that will ultimately clear up on their own are so common in this age group. Last but not least it says no good test exists for genital herpes but a blood test can help detect the infection. Still the results for herpes may not be totally clear depending on the stage of the infection and sensitivity of the test.

Well, again, there ARE better tests than *most* are using... the standard Elisa tests and such are definitely not optimal. But the two options I mentioned, the PCR DNA test and the Western Blot are much much more accurate.

 

PCR blood test: The PCR blood test can tell if you have genital herpes even if you don't have symptoms. The PCR test looks for pieces of the virus' DNA and is very accurate.

 

Western Blot is considered the "Gold Standard" and is used for confusing test results. If your Dr or clinic doesn't use them you may have to search for a place that will.

I went to the dr and she saw it and said it was just a tear. Then I told her I wanted to get tested. I had blood tests and urine sample.
