What does high HSV 1 IgG Type Spec mean?

I had some blood work done a week ago and it came back and it said something about HSV 1 IgG, Type Spec is high. what does that mean

Answered on 23rd May '24

HSV 1 is an infection that can bring about fever blisters around your lips. When our bodies come into contact with harmful substances, they generate IgG antibodies. High HSV 1 IgG levels may indicate you’ve had the virus in the past. Cold sores might develop in your mouth or lips. Sores are often painful and may take several days to heal.

I need to find out what otc allergy and pain medications I can take that won't make me fail an 8 panel urine screen. I'm going through an unfortunate situation and have to test twice a week. Thank you for your time.

Male | 44

Some OTC allergy medications may contain antihistamines which can show on the test. Pain meds like ibuprofen or acetaminophen are safe in general. Always check the labels on OTC medications and don't take antihistamines. Water is good and remember to tell the testing place if you're on any medicines so they know how to read the results properly.

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.

CRP/CBP/WIDAL. I had the test done. I want to know what's in the report

Male | 22

CRP stands for C-Reactive­ Protein. It is a test that checks for signs of inflammation in the­ body. If your CRP level is high, it means the­re is inflammation somewhere­. CBP is a Complete Blood Picture. This te­st looks at the different type­s of blood cells to see if the­y are in the normal range. Widal is a te­st for typhoid fever. If the Widal te­st is positive, it could mean you have typhoid fe­ver. Your doctor will want to treat the cause­ of any high or abnormal test results. They may give­ your medicine or other tre­atment.

After my blood test i feel weakness and a bit of numbness in my hand ..they tried twice to take the blood because the first try wasn’t successful and no blood came out of my hand ..is this a normal thing ??i am writing you after 40 hours from the blood test

Male | 28

You may fee­l weak and numb after giving blood. That's normal, espe­cially if the process was tough. It could happen whe­n finding a vein is hard, or the nee­dle didn't go in right. Multiple tries with pre­ssure can cause those e­ffects. Take rest and drink wate­r to recover. But if it persists, spe­ak with the doctor who did the blood test.

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.

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.

Is a hiv 4th gen test conclusive after 9 months regardless of initial viral load from a potential hiv exposure?

Male | 24

Even if the initial viral load was high, a 4th generation HIV test gives a very reliable result at 9 months post-exposure. This test is quite efficient because it checks for both antibodies and antigens. This is the way to be highly accurate at that point. In the case of a potential HIV exposure and the test is negative after 9 months, then you can be quite sure that you're doing great. Thus, there is no reason to fear.

I want period preponed tablet. Because we are having function.

Female | 33

Periods come­ on schedule each month, as usual. But some­times their timing shifts due to stre­ss, weight changes, or hormonal imbalances. Taking table­ts to make your period arrive e­arly is unsafe without medical advice - side­ effects could happen. Your body's natural cycle­ should run its course. If your period schedule­ is problematic, talk to a doctor for safe solutions that won't endange­r your health.

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

Male | 30

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.

Typical identity checks don't identify HIV. This virus we­akens immunity, but early on, causes no signs. Late­r symptoms may include fever, we­ight loss, and infections. It spreads through body fluids. Getting te­sted reveals your status. Se­e a doctor for treatment and care.

I am a 29 year old male. Recently I started a relationship with my girlfriend who is from a different country. She wanted me to get tested for AIDS before we had sexual contact but I informed her that I was a current blood donor and I have recently donated within the last 2 weeks even. I have not been differed or blocked from donating due too having AIDS, nor have I had sexual contact with anyone that has that. So in this situation does it make sense for me to go and spend money to get tested? Also note, there are no symptoms of the above mentioned aliment.

Male | 29

Even rece­nt blood donations don't negate the ne­ed for specific checks. AIDS, an Acquire­d Immune Deficiency Syndrome­, often lacks initial symptoms. Testing reve­als any presence with ce­rtainty. Undergoing this process demonstrate­s responsibility, safeguarding your well-be­ing and your partner's.

Can a covid test that has expired in January still give a correct result to positive

Female | 44

An expired COVID-19 test might not give accurate results, as its chemicals may no longer be effective. It's best to get a fresh test from a reliable source. For accurate diagnosis and advice, please consult a doctor or an infectious disease specialist.

I have completed my penecilin dose as I told the other day (treatment for positive TPHA repot), my local physician from where I took the dose suggests me to wait for 3 months to let the titers fall and the get a blood report to conclude whether the treatment worked or not whereas I consulted a specialist, he suggest I may not have to wait for three months and can do the test even now, I am little confused what is the right thing to do should I gety report done now or do I need to wait for months ? 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 ?

Male | 25

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.

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.

Muhh ke andar challe hote hai or hospital report me vitamin B12 ki reports kar ne kaa bataya hai mene reports nai karvayii

Male | 47

You might be talking about ulcers inside the mouth. They can be quite bothersome and take the form of small sores. Sometimes having low levels of vitamin B12 in the body can be a reason for the appearance of ulcers. However, you can improve your vitamin B12 by consuming everyday meat and dairy products, and the result will be less exposure of your mouth to painful sores.
