90-95% of people. I wouldn't retest at 6 months but that's your call. I would believe the test and move on

Hsv1 is far less accurate. Hsv1 igg blood tests can miss up to 25% of infections

Would retesting at 16 weeks or 6 months give me different results? Is it 90-95% accurate per test or does it detect infections in 90-95% of people?

Thank you very much
