I was tested positive for HSV2.
I've done the HSV 2 type 2 specific Elisa Euroimmun igg test
1st result is 43.5RU/ml July 28th 2015
2nd result is 23.9RU/ml Nov 4th 2015
3rd result is 54.9RU/ml Jan 29th 2016
Less than 16 RU/ml--Negative
16 and less than 22 RU/ml--Borderline
More than 22 RU/ml--Positive
I never have any visible symptoms, I understand that this is very common.
I would like to ask if I have itchy or tingling feeling at my scrotum or the base area of penis shaft. Is it every time I have this feeling it is Asymptomatic Virus Shedding?
Also I would like to know the best way to prevent passing this HSV2 to my gf if we would like to have sex.
I know wearing protection is a must, is there any ways that can further reduce the chance of passing it to her?
(She knows I am a positive, and she is not a positive.)

Hepatitis C :: Heroin Addicted - Elevated Enzymes Means Active Virus?
I'm a recovering heroin addict. For 7 or 8 Years I used heroin and participated in Many high risk behaviors, mainly sharing of needles and reuse of my own needles. I was tested last week to get on Accutane, and they said my test came back reactive and I had to go for a second test to see if I have the active virus. They also told me my liver enzymes were high. My question is, is with elevated enzymes, is that indicative of active virus? I'm going crazy waiting for results. And is there anything that could've made my levels high besides an active virus? And if I have the active virus, I've had it for at least 3+ years, because I haven't used or participated in that behavior or drank in 3 years, so what will be done to treat it?
View 3 RepliesHepatitis C :: Cured Of HCV But Now Positive Again
My new girlfriend, who I like very much, was very open with me about the fact that she had a blood transfusion as a baby for several surgeries she had to have, which left her HCV positive. She and I were about to move into the sexual part of our relationship, so we both got tested for STDs to show each other we had a clean bill of health. Well as it turns out, her bloodwork showed she was HCV positive again...this is after achieving SVR (not sure for how long she had achieved this yet). She told me and was very upset, so I obviously just gave her a hug and held her. No other way to respond she was so upset. I'm curious, does anyone on here have any experience with this? Possibility for false positives or possibility for her to need to seek additional treatment? I hope you can forgive any questions that may seem ignorant. I am mostly focused on her health, but naturally I'm also concerned about the implications for our future relationship (I understand it is very low risk to pass it to me through sex, but still, I'm human, and I'm just carefully looking at this situation). If anyone can shed some light on her situation, I'd love to hear it. She's a great woman and I'd like to get any info for her that could help.

Breastfeeding :: Hepatitis C Positive With Viral Load
Found out through my OBGYN that i am Hep C positive. Shocking because I've never been a drug user, never had a transfusion, ext. Requested a retest which also came back positive, just to be sure. Then they did a RNA test and it came back with no viral load. Does this mean I cleared the virus on my own and won't ever need treatment? Should I do this test again? Also, since i'm pregnant and am wanting to breastfeed, I'm wondering if it is passable or not since I have no viral load? Will it be safe to breastfeed? I know it is not passable threw the actual milk, but am concerned with cracked/bleeding nipple or teething that could possibly cause me to bleed.

Our 10 days old grandson was finally diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. I said finally, because it took doctors 6 days to determine the cause of baby's problems. They said that there is a possibility that one or both parents are illness carrier. Is that even possible? Can you be cystic fibrosis carrier and not know it through your entire life?
View 4 RepliesLupus :: Positive ANA And Positive Anti-dsdna
So I have been sick with a mystery illness for the last year or so. I've seen every specialist, and the first thing they looked for was a malignancy, but there seems to be nothing. Then I saw a rheumatologist and she sent me for blood tests that came back with a positive ANA and positive anti ds-dna. From what I've read, positive anti-dsdna is VERY specific to Lupus. I never thought I had Lupus because my symptoms weren't specific to it, but after ruling almost everything else out, I'm thinking more and more that Lupus could be it. Because my symptoms weren't specific enough, my rheumatologist told me she wanted to see me again in 3 months to see if there were any progressions. I'm really becoming more certain that it has to be Lupus with these positive tests, and I'm worried that I won't be able to get a diagnosis for a long time to come.
Some of my symptoms include:
Extreme fatigue
Constant low grade fever
Neck discomfort
Headaches
Random pains in fingers and knees (not constant, every once in a while)
Chest pain when breathing deeply
A lot of memory problems
Thinning hair
Can barely work out or walk at the same speed as most people
What do you think I should do next in order to speed up finding a diagnosis? How do I make it clear to my rheumatologist that I feel like this is becoming more and more urgent?
Lupus :: Positive ANA 1:40 With Positive Anti-dsDNA
2 years ago it was ANA 1:80 and the anti-dsDNA was 10, now it's ANA 1:40 with anti-dsDNA 22. So which is worse ?
2 years ago they said it's borderline and if I don't have symptoms, let's wait, they didn't dx. me with lupus.
I had ( and still have ) unexplained hip pain ( comes and goes ), headaches and lightheadedness ( had them before, but usually around periods ), but 2 months ago they become very bothersome and almost constant. My vitamin D is 25 ( should be 30-70 ) and vitamin b12 is 244 ( should be 200-900 ) my dr.said is still kind a low
.
Are these lupus symptoms at all ?
Cystic Fibrosis :: Probably A Carrier - Tests?

View 1 RepliesHIV :: How Reliable Is The P24 Antigen Test?
I have read that the p24 antigen test can detect HIV in its early stages, prior to an assay test. Approximately from about 10 days to 4 weeks after exposure.
However, I have read on countless occasions people saying that it is not to be considered when diagnosing or detecting HIV. I just find it a little confusing. If there's no point relying on it, then why use it?
I recently had one day combined with an assay at 9 days post exposure. I know this is too soon for results however, I guess it will be good for a baseline. I will be retesting at 3 months.
Haemochromatosis :: C282Y Heterozygote - Carrier Or Suffering?
I believe I have haemochromatosis, but my genetic test reflected that I was only C282Y heterozygote and my doctor has advised that I can only be a carrier. Is this true? Does anyone know of anyone else who is C282Y heterozygote and suffering with the disease?
I have been suffering with severe joint pains (particularly in my fingers) and general fatigue.
My initial blood tests ruled out rheumatoid arthritis and showed the following levels:
Ferritin: 2672 ng/ml
Transferrin: 139 mg/dL
Transferrin saturation: 96%
I was prescribed 4 weekly phlebotomy sessions after which my results improved to:
Ferritin: 2177 ng/ml
Transferrin: 161 mg/dL
Transferrin saturation: 82%
However I also then showed signs of anemia with my hemoglobin levels reducing from 14.8 to 12.9 g/dL.
The doctor has now decided it can't be Haemochromatosis because my levels haven't reduced sufficiently after 4 sessions and because of the anemia reading.
I am Irish and know this is prevalent in the celtic race.
I am now to be tested for Still's disease, even though the only symptom I have is joint pain. I could be proven completely wrong, but I feel this is complete waste of time and is delaying my correct treatment.
My doctor has admitted he has little experience with haemochromatosis so if there is anyone else out there with similar readings and the same genetic result I would love to hear more about your diagnosis.
