you will need to seek out type specific herpes igg blood testing 3 months after you last had sex with this partner. your testing was done too early for your hsv2 test to be accurate. make sure they do the better testing this next time - test for hsv1 and hsv2 separately instead of the combined testing !
if its non-specific type testing and it tells me nothing .. then my HSV 2 results are not definite?
i realized that once i read my post over some of the details of the reference ranges did not post correctly.
i got tested because i had a partner whom i had been having protected sex with during Sept - Dec who found a bump/ lump on his scrotum.. i dont believe he had the bump swabbed though. but said his herpes test came back positive.. i never saw his results though or what the report details were
when he told me i went about getting tested and go for full gyn exams at the 1st week of january
last time I had sex ( with this same individual) was during Christmas week
you had non-type specific testing done that came back as positive. non-type specific testing tells you nothing.
the lab that was used makes the erroneous assumption that if the non-type specific test is positive that you probably have hsv1 and so then it only tests specifically for hsv2. Your hsv2 was negative.
you will need to seek out hsv1 igg blood testing too to know your full status.
why did you get tested?
how long prior to testing had you last had sex?
