That is correct- the igm test isn't worthwhile.

Please check your results again - were they really reported as 1:20 or 1.2?

yeah they both have a ":" instead of a "."
does it make a difference?
quest was the lab that did the testing.

are you the same person who is posting in the under 25 forum at the herpes homepage? If so just keep on posting there where you are already getting the help of jess and others who are terrific.
