HSV 2 I am freaking out!
I never have any symptoms of Herpes but I did a full lab work worried because my GF said she tested positive for Clamhydia. So results came back
Negative for clhamydia. ( sorry for the spell ) . Now for my surprise labs done on 25Jun14 was
HSV2 igg 1.17 H
but doctor says I am inactive. I got scared and confuse as she left me confuse and walked out of the room and told me to check out. So I went to anylabtestnow office on 11Jul14 I just got my results and says
HSV 2 IGG 0.91 H
and the lab person told me that means that basically my body It's inconclusive and doesn't know if I will have it or not. That's even more confusing. For my understanding is either you do have it or don't. I never have Amy symptoms or brake out. Have been reading a lot and still don't know what to do. Can someone explain better to me what Does that means for me? Do I have herpes or not? This is frustrating. Thanks for the help.

With a result like that, I doubt you have had HSV2 for a while if it transpires that for some reason that you do. If you have it, and that is a big if, it has likely come from this partner.
Look, I may be completely wrong, but the odds of you not getting chlamydia in 2 months are not high. Have a word with her about fidelity if this is what you are after as there is a chance she has been infected sooner than that.
As you have not had lesions and an equivocal result, there is not a high chance of infection here at all. It would be useful to know her status though. If she is negative, this would increase your chances of not being infected.

I have been with her for at least 2 months sexually active. When she got a phone call from her doc saying she tested positive for chlamydia she notified me and I went next day for testing. That was 25Jun14 when I got all labs done. Results came back almost 2 weeks after and my doc told me the results for chlamydia was negative ( she hasn't say anything about herpes ) I told her what my results say she hasn't tested yet waiting for my results ) last time we had sex was 3jul14. How long would I have to wait to retest? Should I don't have sex with her? What are my chances of being infected or not?
This appears a slightly strange way the lab reports these results.
There isn't much choice but to conclude the result is equivocal. In Herpeselect terms this stands an huge chance of actually being a negative if 12 weeks after possible infection. You will need a confirmation test, preferably by a lab that reports the results differently!
Let's look at the facts though, how long have you been with your current GF? Did you test positive for chlamydia? Due she test positive for HSV2? How long from your last sexual encounter with her until the blood test?

Test says
HSV 1/2 IGG TYPE SPECIFIC AB HERPESELECT
HSV1 IGG TYPE SPECIFIC AB <.90 (under in range column )
HSV2 IGG TYPE SPECIFIC AB .91H ( under out of range column )
HSV 1/2 IGG TYPE SPECIFIC AB HERPESELECT
HSV1 IGG TYPE SPECIFIC AB <.90 (under in range column )
HSV2 IGG TYPE SPECIFIC AB .91H ( under out of range column )
Can you check exactly what the test result says for HSV2? Does it really say 0.91 H that is not the correct interpretation. Include every symbol. Is it showing <0.91? Are the index ranges shown separately?
