Hsv 1 and 2 Test Results and Treatments
Dear Nurse Practioner Terri Warren,
I was tested for STD's. All were negative except the HSV 1 and 2 tests. Here are the results:
SHA1 and2-Specific Ab, IgG
HAV 1 IgG, Type Spec 4.51 High Index 0.00-0.90
Negative <o.91
Equivocal 0.91 - 1.09
Positive < 1.09
Note: Negative indicates antibodies detected to HSV-1. Equivocal may suggest early infection. If clinically
appropriate, retest at later date. Positive indicates antibodies detected to HSV-1; coinfection with HSV-2 cannot be excluded without type specific testing.
What does this mean in practical terms ? Do I have HSV-1 infection? If so, what treatments should I undertake?
If I share this information with my primary, is he obligated to share it with NY State Health Department? Does the
health dept. notify my wife ? If I am infected, what is the best way to tell my wife and family who will be absolutely devastated by the info ? I would appreciate your best advice because I have been dealing with this for the past 3 months. I beginning to become unglued from the stress and strain. By the way, I am 73 years old and had oral sex (unprotected) by a massage theapist. Please respond asap. Thanks so much.
