HSV 1 and HSV 2 IGG - IGM Combo 1&2 +

HSV 1 and HSV 2 IGG - IGM Combo 1&2 +

Recieved my LabCrop test results back today...


as the title says:

HSV 1 IGG was Neg

HSV 2 IGG was Neg


HSV IgM Combo 1&2 was high at 2.14


What gives?

My Dr called me in for another blood draw to be done to send off to Labcorp to test the HSV 2 IgM?

Thoughts?

Make Sence?

Should I be worried?

the herpes igm test is a greatly flawed test and we never recommend its use.  http://www.medhelp.org/posts/STDs/Confusiion-over-other-IgM-Herpes-posts/show/248394  is an informative prior post on the topic for more reading.

how long prior to this had you last had sex?

did you have symptoms or was this a general screening?

Sex with the same girl since april of this year. Her last yearly was neg for all. No symptoms. Just a reg check up.

odds are she wasn't tested for herpes.

honestly disregard your igm results. no reason to test again while with this partner for herpes unless you find out she was never tested and does get tested and finds out she has it.
