herpes testing

i tested positive with the IgG type specific herpes test about three two years ago for herpes 2.  i was restested last week and came back negative for herpes 2 with the same IgG type specific test.  both times i tested positive for type 1.  i am asking if this means i do not have herpes 2.  i have heard that antibodies would be present for life and that if i had the virus it would always be present if i was tested one, two, or twenty years later.  

any explanation would be greatly appreciated.  i also have never had any visible symptom of herpes 2.

thank you.

That means that test you took a couple years ago was most likely a false positive test and you more than likely don't have it. I've read that sometimes you can have a false positive especially if you have HSV1. Do you know what your levels were in the first test?I think you are in a good spot right now!!!! You should go celebrate and be careful going forward.

Thanks for the response and the positive words.  i don't know what my levels were back then.  i did not really know much about herpes.  my levels now are 0.2 for the herpes 2 and 46.0 for the herpes 1.  they were both negative for the IgM test, but that test usually spots a recent infection and from i've read, most people say it's useless anyway.

thanks again.

Well then based on that, you don't have HSV2.
