Low negative test result for hsv 2

Low negative test result for hsv 2

My GYN performed a blood test for STDs.  I do show a positive result for hvs 1.  However, the test showed a low negative for hvs 2 (test was done November 2008).  I took another blood test February 2009 and the result was low negative but it was slightly higher than the November 2008 test result.  I took another test February 2010 and the hvs 2 test came back negative too but slightly higher than November 2009.  I'm a bit perplexed about my results.  I have been dealing with a huge amount of stress also.  What test should I take to have a more accurate result?  I'm stressing out.  Any suggestion / guidance would be greatly appreciated.

the numeric results and changing numeric results of your negatives are meaningless.  

why have you continued to retest so often for herpes?

do you have a regular partner? if so have they been tested?

Hi Grace,

Thank you so much for responding to my question.  I really appreciate your time and effort to help me with this.  I'm freaking out.

My GYN said that I have hsv 2 because of the blood work.  Frst time the result revealed a false positive (-4.02 or something like that) and she wanted me to retest again.  And it seems that every time I retest the results gets higher.  I do have a regular partner.  

He does have hsv 1 and one time he tried to performed oral sex on me when his cold sore was healing but I told him to stop.  could that cause me to get the hsv 2?

What should I ask my GYN when I see her again?  Everything that I've read so far on the community points to me not having hvs 2. So confused and totally devestated of not knowing.  Should I do the WB or the Biokit to confirm? Or should I not even worry about it?

Thanks so much!!

hsv1 stays hsv1. it can not turn into hsv2. 2 totally separate viruses.

can you get the results of your last hsv2 igg test to post here for me to look at? all I need posted are the actual results - ie hsv1 igg 5.5 and hsv2 igg .34 or whatever they are.  Just wanting to make sure there's no confusion.  thanks!
