Herpes IgG Test Results

Who i was tested with sent me

Anti-HSV-1 IgG = REACTIVE type 1 was "101.9 inhibition"

Anti-HSV-2 IgG = NEGATIVE type 2 was "46.8 inhibition"  (which is good - there is a who layer from about 50 to 70 which they call EQUIVOCAL which means they are not sure if it positive or negative)

the Anti-HSV IgG (Dade Behring EIA) was OD/CO: 11.900.

what does she mean by this? does this mean that despite it being negative and .49 it is still possible i have hsv-2? can this be considered conclusive?

there are many different brands of igg blood tests for herpes. the way the one you listed is reporting is not the herpeselect or the captia test. I am not familiar with the brand you had done.

this is not a test I am familiar with to comment on .

You can try posting it in your post for Dr Hook that you have and see if it'll get added there.
