Hi there

Even if you are testing negative it unfortunately doesn't mean you don't have it. They think that the virus lies dormant and during this dormancy you will test negative.  No harm in having the vaccine in my opinion though if you want it!  Particularly since the jab protects against multiple strains so will protect you against anything you don't already have.  Hope that helps.

Yeah I agree it doesn't mean you don't have it but I always think no harm in extra help against infections :)

Hi , after my cone biopsy my Doc suggested i get it done straight away to try trigger some form of immune response.

So i did, and need a booster shot in Nov. i hope it does something. i think there are varied opinions on whether it helps or not.

Did you have to wait for your results first? And did you pay for it?

 

thanks sx
