My physician will not order the herpeselect type specific gg1/gg2 test for my recurrent outbreak. is it only useful for primary infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Herpes Testing: First, if you know you have herpes why would you need another test? Second, if you do not know what type of infection you have then this is a vital test and I am not sure why any physician would not order it.
