question about test results
Here is what my test reads. It was taken 11 weeks post encounter. Every dr I saw said I did not have herpes.
HSV I/II IgG Rflx I-II Type SP
HSV I/II <0.9 this indicates no anti-bodies were detected for either virus.
This test was done by Labcorp. I have done some research on the web and have found that even though this was an IGG test. they first test for HSV and if there is any anti-bodies then they check for which one. Can they miss I or II with this test. Does anyone know how reliable this is?
FYI... My IGM I/II Combonation is < 0.91 whic is a negative. Thanks for your help!!

thanks grace. since i gave the blood on monday they can still run the herpeselect without me having to give any more blood. i asked them to do it just to be safe.
It's a decent enough test that they use. Your herpes test is negative for both hsv1 and hsv2. No need to retest again.
