Herpes Blood Tests – Why I Haven’t Been Type-Specific Tested Yet

By Jenelle Marie Pierce

Herpes Blood Tests

Last reviewed on October 11, 2019 by Shuvani Sanyal, MDRecently, I had a written exchange with a reader about blood testing for HSV1/HSV2.

By Jenelle Marie Pierce

STDs

Last reviewed on October 1, 2019 by Nancy Carteron, MD, FACRThe STI Project’s been up and running for a little over 7 months now.

Last reviewed on October 1, 2019 by Nancy Carteron, MD, FACRAt 15 years old, I was naive, boisterous, and ignorant. I’d love to sugar-coat my naiveté, but unfortunately, I was clueless. Not only was I a witless blockhead concerning the world in which I lived, I was convinced I knew what lie ahead. Keep in […]
