second opinion on an HSV test result

I have taken 2 HSV igg tests in the last five months. The first test was an IGG test just for hsv-2 which came back negative. this was a few weeks after a sexual encounter. i took another test a few weeks ago, this time for hsv antibodies, hsv-1 and hsv-2. this was also an igg test. the results came back as equivocal for hsv antibodies, negative for hsv-1 and 2. my doctor said he is pretty close to 100% sure it is not herpes and the equivocal result is probably a factor of something else in my body and that i should just look at the negative results.

I punctured my lip the other day and developed some type of sore...hopefully a canker. the sore isn't on the outer part of my lip, but it's not inside either. it's in the area where the lips touch. i guess that i am just looking for peace of mind in that it is not herpes.

What you've posted for your 2nd test results makes little sense. Can you get a copy of the 2nd test results and post their numeric value here? ie hsv1 igg 3.4 and hsv2 igg .23 or whatever they are.

bookmark this post and keep adding to it - makes it easier for us to follow your whole story :)

HSV Ab IgG   1.1---doctor said this was most likely nothing.
HSV-1 Ab IgG    0.10
HSV-2 Ab IgG    0.11

HSV-1 Ab IgM   negative
HSV-2 Ab IgM   negative

he said i should trust the 2 type specific results. these results are 5 months after any contact. i also had a test a month after contact that had pretty much the same results.
