A member asked:

Should people with recurring iritis be tested for lgv? most say no(apparently it's rare in canada and us and is common in gay men and ppl with hiv)

A doctor has provided 1 answer

LGV: This disease is incredibly uncommon in the usa, and the complication of iritis is even more uncommon in individuals who have lgv. Let your ophthalmologist make this decision.

Dr Friedlander agreed
