doctor says In most cases germ disappears By THOSTESON MD Veneral disease has always been problem about which folks knew little and spoke less So am bit encouraged to see letters from my readers asking intelligent questions about it It gets it out of the dark comers Here are just two Dear Dr Thosteson Why do some people have positive or falsepositive blood test re sults year after year My blood always shows spirochetes but they are not active VR When germs enter the body they stir up production of anti bodies that show up in the blood tests But it is well to know that other disorders can produce similar substances theyre called reagins that give the so called falsepositive result Im thinking of infections such as cold or rheumatoid arthritis There are other symptoms of syphilis to confirm its presence As to your blood always show ing spirochetes dont be too sure In most instances the germ disappears In others some may remain and be de tected in lymph nodes or spinal fluid Falsepositive conditions usu ally disappear within three months and another test pro vides reliable results If the reading persists it is wise to find the cause of infection or have more detailed blood tests for syphilis Remember too that even with adequate treat ment positive blood test may persist for long time The negative result usually occurs in about year While the first writer is concerned with falsepositive results the next writer is worried about what she fears are falsenegative ones She writes Dear Dr Thosteson have seen several doctors and all my tests have been negative But still feel have VD You say that even if VD does not show up in blood tests you can still have it cant convince anyone do but my body has told me so in many ways If the usual tests are negative is there any way person can prove he does have VD JR You seem to have an obses sion about this matter At least you are hard to convince And you dont say how your body is telling you things your doctors arent If you are speaking of sy philis the negative blood tests and the absence of other ob vious symptoms such as fever and body rash should be enough to convince you If you are speaking of gonorrhea the absence of discharge and the results of tests should be equally convincing Even discharge is not necv essarily indicative of VD Penis discharge too can mean infection by nonVD germ The standard tests are usually sufficient but other more sen sitive ones are available Why not relax and accept the evidence your doctors are giv ing you Report your symp toms and get treatment for whatever is causing them Dear Dr Thosteson My doctor has told me he can per form tubal ligation What exactly is this How does it prevent woman from getting pregnant anymore dont want my husband to know about the operation We have six children and dont want any moreKP Quite simply tubal ligation is tying off of the Fallopian tubes so that the ovum released from tge ovary does not have chance to meet the erm for im pregnation ont think it wise for you to try to have this done without your husbands knowing about it No more than it would be for him to have vasectomy without your knowledge BRIDGE Oswald and
