false Positive herpes IgG Blood Test ?
by regretor, Jul 20, 2009 07:59PM
I had unprotected oral sex recently and went for a blood test two weeks later.
The result showed I am Herpes Type 1 positive as below :
Herpes Type 1 IGG 935 units/ml
Negative 400
Herpes Type 2 IGG 130 units/ml
Negative 300
Am I considered as infected by Herpes Type 1 ? What is the chance of false positive result for IGG ?
Thanks

You should wait four months for more accurate blood tests after possible exposure. negative in specific IGG tests after such time should be quite conclusive.
