Do you know what test he had - was it HerpeSelect? This appears to be a type specific IgG test, but 10+ seems high even for a positive HerpeSelect numerical result.
I know he did a blood test and had a culture test. Also, what does it mean to have greater than 10? What does the number represent and is there any way to determine if this is a newer exposure or pre-existing?
