HSV 1&2 Results

[Juju22]

I just tested positive for Herpes 1 & 2.  My results are as follows:

HSV-1 aB IgG  3.9 H <0.90 POSITIVE    
HSV-2 aB IgG  2.3 H <0.90 POSITIVE

This may sound like a dumb question, but how accurate (or strongly positive) are these results?  I've only had one partner since my last (negative HSV2) test 2 years ago.  He says he has never tested positive for herpes.  I've pretty much lost all hope after this positve test...

It's easier if you start your own thread in the future trakaz :)


Your results look like they aren't really just for hsv1 ( unless you mistyped them and they are actually 5.72 - please check your results ).  If you really had a 57.2 result then you probably didn't have a type specific igg blood test for hsv1 and hsv2 and really had a combined test which was a waste of time and money.

Your partner needs to get himself a type specific herpes igg blood test now to see what his status is now. If he's hsv2 negative since you have a history of past negative hsv2 results then you need to pursue additional testing to confirm your low positive hsv2 result.  Results under 3.5 for hsv2 have a chance of being a false positive.

I got my Results and come out with a 57.2  for HSV-1. I am puzzled that it could be so high
