Have you received word from VIPDx stating whether or not they are going to retest you using the culture test?
Looks like they changed that final question on their Q&A sheet
This is the last question on my copy (was with my results)
Q: Is there a serological test available at this time
A: We are currently developing a serological test and this test will be added to our existing test without any charge and will be offered to all clients who previously had testing at no additional charge
(I have typed that in so there may be the odd error as bad eyes today)
Q: Does a negative result definitively mean that I am not infected?
A: Although we strive to offer the most sensitive test available, XMRV is typically present at a very low-copy number and could be below the limit of detection at the time your sample is tested. Re-testing at a later date is a decision for you and your physician or health care professional to discuss and determine the best course of action. We do not recommend re-testing for 3 to 6 months.
Q: Is a serological test available at this time?
A: A serological test is currently in development.
My doctor's nurse called this morning to tell me that my VIP culture test for XMRV was negative.
