I tested positive for parvovirus but was told there was nothing to do for treatment. Why did they test me for it then if it wasn't something to address? Does anyone know about this?

- Was it Parvovirus B19?
I've been looking around and it's not easy to find what I'm looking for - astonished that they say it can be serious but also most typical medical articles shy away from treatment.
I hope someone comes along with a good link for you - you might find someone who treats a full range of other chronic stealth viruses such as HHV-6. -

- It may not be a problem unless a patient has another, more serious infection. Have you talked about this with your LLMD? Your LLMD would want to know.
Basically, this is the take from the CDC: "Parvovirus B19 is a virus that commonly infects humans; about 50% of all adults have been infected sometime during childhood or adolescence. . . ."
From some of the links I scouted, this seems to have lots of detail. However, the treatment section seems to be nearly missing. ----------
