Grace, test result question
Wow. I just received a IgG result of 4.2 for type 2. I just took this test as a precaution, my only exposure was 3 months ago and i have had no signs. I'm a male and this exposure was very brief vaginal sex where the condom fell off at some point. Is it possible i don't have herpes, like a false positive? Please help with a response.
the only test i have had in the past was 2 days after this possible exposure, it was for herpes 1, 2 IgM which was <o.91. I have heard these test are useless, is it possible i have had herpes for an extended period of time and never had any outbreaks? If so does this mean it would be harder to transmit to a partner?
Condoms do not prevent transmission of genital herpes 100%. Unless this was the only time you've ever had sex - there's no way to tell how long you've been infected. Have you ever had a herpes blood test before?
A 4.1 result is over the range of false positives so it's not likely to be one :(
