Can you test negative for herpes and have the virus?

First, there are STDs for which there's no reliable test:There is no commerically available test to tell someone they don't have HPV. HPV can be diagnosed if a person has genital warts, or may be found during a cervical HPV test or biopsy, but there's no way to say that someone doesn't have HPV. The overwhelming majority of people who have sex have had HPV at some point in their lives.It is difficult to say that someone has or doesn't have genital herpes if they don't have symptoms. A blood test can tell you if you have antibodies to type 1 or type 2 herpes, but can't tell you if the infection is genital or found elsewhere.In addition, there are a few circumstances that might lead to a negative STD test when the STD is present.You can get tested too soon and you may not be able to tell what you have yet it would be too early to know.Tests are almost never 100% accurate. You shouldn't necessarily start doubting the tests but you should be tested regularly.


How long can they detect cocaine in your blood stream?

Cocaine stays in your blood for approx. 2-4 days. Drinking plenty of water will speed up the process but if you are going to take a drug test, don't drink TOO MUCH water, as that will also show up in the test and you will have to retake it at a later time. Best option - don't do cocaine :)


When you check Sirolimus levels do you need to be fasting?

No, they don't need to be fasting. However they need to be done before you've had your dosage of Sirolimus for the day (since taking Sirolimus on the day of the blood test, before the blood, test messes up the test).


Blood test 5 days ago will doctor have the results yet?

A blood test can take anywhere from a day up to several days. It will greatly depend on the level of testing that is done. If a blood test was done 5 days ago, there is a great possibility that the results will be available.
