herpes results

yesterday I get my hsv 1 and 2 igm antibodies result and hsv 1 and 2 igg result

IGM negative-0.24 value
IGG with 3.03 value .My doctor says no need to worry about everybody should be igg posive what it mean.

so was that your hsv2 igg or did you only get 1 result for both hsv1 and hsv2?

It was for both hsv1 and hsv 2 plz tell me is it dangeours. is it shorten life. or i m normal

[gracefromHHP]

that was the wrong test you were given. it's a combined test and a + result tells you little to nothing. your provider needs to learn to order type specific herpes igg blood testing and you need to repeat your test.

Thanks for quick information. which test i need to order.
Hsv 1 IgG or Hsv 2 IgG? which indicate herpes

[gracefromHHP]

my hsv 2 igm and hsv2  igg negative. kindly tell me if some one has hsv1 positive and hsv 2 negative what it means

[gracefromHHP]

First off you shouldn't be getting igm testing done. it's a waste of time.

Most adults have hsv1. for most adults they have it orally.  Did you have any genital symptoms that caused you to start this testing process or was it just a routine screening for herpes you had done?

At this point not much you can do unless you get a return of symptoms. if you do, be seen promptly for a proper work up.

You probably want to change your gender to male too to make it less confusing when folks read your post :)

Vineet where are you located? In India? I would like to know if there is a place that does type specific IGG testing. I am in the same boat as you were initially. I got an IgM negative result and an IgG positive (2.9) result but it was combined it seems as there was no breakdown information. I find it hard to beleive I contraced HSV from my recent one time unprotected oral. I haven't had symptoms but I'm curious and anxious about any possible infections and anti bodies in my blood.

Super religare limited in india

Thank you. What did the doctor initially suggest when you got your combined IGG positive of 3.03 and igm negative? Did he tell you that you definitely have some type of herpes or did he tell you that you need further tests?

[vineet837]

he said it is nothing , we all have it

[rackofnerves]

We all have what? HSV1 or HSV2 or a positive IGG?

[vineet837]

positive IGG

[rackofnerves]

Thanks for sharing. I wonder why they sell the test if everyone has posititve IGG and it tells you nothing. Did he suggest to you to take the type specific Igg test or did you do it yourself?
