Interpretation of lab results - help!
by greek2me, Jul 23, 2008 09:56PM
I recently had a series of tests done to rule out stds. I have never had any symptoms; I just wanted reassurance upon beginning a new relationship. I had a herpes test done through labcorp. I am confused by the results and what I should do next. My MD seems unable/ unwilling to help me with the interpretation.
The test was an IgG test. I had an index of 41.3 on the general test.
This prompted a more specific test, which read an index of 3.74. Does
this mean I have HSV2? Should I be on treatment? Should I have more specific tests performed? Please help!
