Greeting,
I am a 28 year old feamle. Have been healthy my entire life. I practiced celibacy from 2011 until recently when I became seually active again - monogamous relationship. I recenlty had a full STD panel. Everything came back negative. However my HSVI/II IgM anti-body was equvicol at 1.0. At that time my HSV 1 IgG 0.08 and my HSV 2 IgG 0.19. (Both neg). I immediately went into a panic about the equvicol vaule I recived. Therefore, 5 days later I repeated my bloodwork.
This time my HSVI/II/ IgM antibodies increased to 1.13! My IgG antibodies for HSV 1 rose by a tenth of a point (0.08-0.10) and My HSV2 remained the same- both proved to still be NEG. Could someone please give me advice. I was doing research and found that IgM testing gives off a plethra of false positives. Should I get another blood test? Or should I start treatment for this? I've been with the same person for 8 months. If i were postive for this disease shouldnt I have a positive IGG as well? Im confused. Please help!
