Herpes Test Result
I recently took a Herpes test. My results are: IMG - Negative and IGG - 1.33 for type 2 and 1.24 for type one. The doctor told me I have herpes and to take valtrex. I have never shown any signs, nothing. I do wear condoms. Could this be a false positive? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thank you!!!

oops...
Let me restate... It is quite possible that your HSV2 result is a false positive when (a) you have HSV1 and (b) your HSV2 IgG score is <3.5.
This situation fits you...

It is quite possible that it is a false positive. This is sometimes the case when your IgG score for HSV2 is <3.5. You can ask your doctor to have the laboratory perform an inhibition assay on your blood sample. Alternately you can (a) have your doctor send a blood sample to the university of washington or (b) order a biokit HSV2 test.
It may be worth your time (and money) to post this in the expert forum and ask the doctor for information that you can print out and take to your doctor.
In the meantime, you should still take precaution with your partners while you sort this out.
