[quote=Anonymous]Nurse practitioner who works in an STI clinic here – yes, of course she can decline any tests that she doesn’t want done. An experienced set of eyes might look at what she has going on and be able to give her a sense of what it probably is/isn’t. Herpes testing itself is fickle, the swab (best test) has to be done at the right time or you can have a false negative. The blood test just tells you about lifetime exposure to type 1 or 2 (most adults have been exposed to one or the other) and does have a non-trivial false positive rate. [/quote]
