Event Description

On (b)(6) 2024, blood sample was taken for hsv 1/2 igg,type specific ab testing.Results were received (b)(6) 2024 and indicated an equivocal result for hsv-1.On (b)(6) 2024, blood sample was taken for university of washington's hsv western blot testing.Results were received (b)(6) 2024 and indicated a negative result for hsv-1.I am concerned about the reliability of igg testing as the mental reaction of receiving an equivocal result was quite anguishing.I would like to escalate viability of western blot testing as a more reliable method.(b)(6).Reference report: mw5153286.
