confused on test herpes.
I got my test result from lapcorp. It said i am positive for herpes antibodies. I guess it a non-type since they told me to get tested again to find out if i have hvs1 or 2.
HSV I/II IgG 57.8 High Index 0.0-0.8
Neg 1.0
Does this test tell me that i have either hsv 1 or 2 or even both? IS it possible that i have none? Any chance it a false positive?
Received a email from Lapcorp."Your STD test results are attached. It appears that your body has developed antibodies for the herpes virus. This is not necessarily indicative of an active infection. The exact typing (Herpes 1 or Herpes 2) was unable to be determined with the test that you took."

this test tells you absolutely nothing about your herpes status :( You'll need to have your provider repeat your test with the proper testing that is type specific. Encourage your provider to only order type specific testing so that they stop wasting their patients time and money!

Yeah i did im going retest igg type specific next week. is there any chance i get neg for both hsv1 and hsv2? Have you answer any question that got + on igG non-type test and retest with a - on type specific testing just wondering??
thank you grace..
thank you grace..
When it comes to questions like this the best thing we can tell you is that you need to get a type specific test. You could have both or one or both. There is too many variables in the this and that is why you need a type specific test.
Some things you might not know and you need to know. About half the adult us population has HSV-1 orally (cold sores) that we got as a kid. Even if we don't have a reoccurance.

Since my test were combine to 57 high. The more chance it going be hsv 2 + or both right?
odds are you have herpes, no way to know if it's hsv1 like most adults do, hsv2 or both.
sorry for re posting. I had sex with a women back in February unprotected oral and protected sex. On April about 2 month later i noticed a small red pimple on my shaft of my penis by the hairs. So i went to std testing. Everything came back negative but hsv 1 &2 combined came back high 57. Does that mean the small red pimple is the sign of herpes? It doesn't look like any herpes picture from google. I have no pain or itch nor blister. I know for sure i don't have hsv 1. I though if you contact herpes it developed from 2-20 day. Could this be herpes.
I'm going to tell you this again - you can't ascertain a single thing from a combined herpes igg result being positive!!!! You will need to repeat your herpes testing with the proper testing to get a better idea of your status and go from there. should your "pimple" reoccur, be seen again for a work up.
i know i need to get a another igg test to know what kind of herpes i got. but i'm too scared to find out i got genital herpes since i'm still young. the pimple i have; have no symptom. Just a red pimple but it doesn't seem to disappear.
It is you that has to take the setup to move to find out. Herpes isn't going to stop your sex life.
thank you for replying mistakeguy. I already know i have herpes since i told blood test igg hsv 1 &2 combined. But it doesn't tell me which one or two i have. but i already think i have genital herpes since i have a red pimple. I don't know if have want take another test confirm it that i do that genital herpes since it going hurt me even more to find out it true.
You shouldn't be scared to find out your status. Would you rather worry for a long time about having it or find out for certain. Even if tested positive it's not the end of the world. You may have to adjust certain things but it will not ruin your life! Get the test and post the results so grace and others can further help you. Make sure you get the right tests so you don't waste your time/ money!!!
Well, you shouldn't be scared to "find out the truth". You might not have genital herpes at all and spend the rest of you life thinking you do. Worst case scenario here is confirming a positive HSV2, which you're already convinced you have it because of a "red pimple" in the penis. Many people get pimple in the penises, it's not necessarily herpes.
Go ahead and get tested, you might be worried for no reason.

If every person that had a red pimple had herpes a lot of people would be having herpes.
yeah herpes can look like red pimple. I was test that i have herpes antibodies in my system 57 high igg hsv 1&2 combined. i know i don't have hsv 1. so mostly likely that red pimple is genital herpes. right mistakeguy
you can't assume anything about anything you've had genitally at this point.
please, no more questions until you've had the proper testing done to post here. thank you.

finally got my igg specific test result. it said im neg for hsv-2 but positive for hsv-1. I never had a cold sore in my life and never kissed anyone in the lips. is there any other way i could get hsv-1 beside kissing? Since i never have any symptom could i give someone hsv-1 by just a kiss? here my result
HSV 1 IgG type Spec 4.44 High
HSV 2 IgG Type Spec 0.91
HSV 1 IgG type Spec 4.44 High
HSV 2 IgG Type Spec 0.91
Some people do not show signs of hsv1 and may never. Hsv 1 is typically passed with a romantic type kiss in adults. It is possible to spread it other ways but it's when your younger. I'll let someone else take it from here as I'm not an expert.
Thank you franklinandbash for your reply.
Grace i have a question. i never had a cold sore nor kiss a girl in my life. but i got oral sex, had a red pimple on my penis shaft but i poped it white/yellow puss came out. could that pimple be hsv-1? It look like one big pimple or bumps or blisters doesn't itch.

most people who have hsv1 orally never get obvious cold sores to know that they are infected. 1 out of every 3 of us contract hsv1 orally before we even set foot in public school even.

I had unprotected oral sex and about month later i have a big single red pimple poped it white/yellow puss came out. no pain or itch.. right now i don't have no pimple so i can't get swab test. Could that pimple be hsv1?
thank you grace
thank you grace
odds are this wasn't herpes going on. should it reoccur, be seen promptly for an exam.
how long does it take for hsv 1 to reoccur? 1month? can hsv 1 just be one big single pimple with white/yellow puss?
some people never have a recurrence of genital hsv1.
usually hsv1 doesn't present with just 1 pimple with the initial infection. usually they are not pus filled either.
