I wouldn't share towels or toothbrushes, just in general.

To clarify my status,i know i must take western blot test as gold standard procedure
but the problem is i stay in Indonesia,i think there is zero posibilty to take western blot since it is only available in US,
I just want to know my status,if i am truly positive,i will accept the result and live with it, but in this case i am still low positive,you said there is still chance to get false positive,so what should i do next??
Accept the herpes without clear status is really painful moment for me.. You have helped me a lot by answering my question Terri...

Lysine will not impact your antibody test.
If you are going to do the same test over, it may not help clarify things for you, just so you know. You do appear to know.

Should i stop consuming lysine for a while to get accurate result on 2nd september 2013??
sorry for over post... there's something wrong with my iPhone...
Since i got low positive,i started consuming lysine for a month now to prevent the outbreak
Do you think it will affect the result for hsv 1 on 2nd september 2013
Thx Terri

1. About half the people who are infected will show antibody within 3 weeks.
2. I would say that > 3.5 means almost certain infection, less than 2.41 but greater than 1.1 is still low positive and not definitive.
3. Yes

Any opinion?thx...
I never have history of cold sore in my entire life.
1.Do u think is it too soon become positive after a month exposure for hsv??
2,If i retest again,greater than 3.5 means definitely positive,how about if lower than 2.41??
3.What are the chance to get false positive for hsv 1?is possible to happen??
Thx a lot Terri warren

Have you ever in your life had a cold sore on your lip, then that is the source of your HSV 1 antibody. If you haven't, then there are a few possibilties
1) it is a false positive since it is a low positive
2) You acquired HSV 1 from the sexual encounter
3) you have HSV 1 orally and don't know it.
If you only received oral sex, transmission of HSV 2 is really unlikely. You could retest and see if your HSV 1 index value is greater than 3.5. That would eliminate the need to do any other kind of confirmatory test.
