your hsv2 igg's are all low positives and even negatives. At this point getting a herpes WB is the best course of action.

Can I ask my regular doctor to do this test and not my obgyn? Also how come obgyn's do not explain all of this to patients in regards to their low numbers. If this was explained to me i could have had all this done months ago. Thank you Grace!
yes your regular doctor can order this for you. if they use quest labs it's test #34534.
unfortunately not all providers are educated on the false positive issues with the herpes tests yet even though the CDC has been providing info on it for about 6 years now as have other easily found resources.
Thank you I will update you asap
Sorry is quest labs the same as quest diagnostics labs?
So I have been waiting for about a month for my results for the western when my bill came today. I thin they did the wrong test. Where it says CPT Code it says 86695 and for hsv2 it says 86696. Am i reading this correctly that these are the wrong tests?? Thank you Casey
correct - that isn't the herpes WB results. did you call for your test results because if they didn't do wb, they should be back.

Well I called and they told me my results came back negative! It was an HSV1 and 2 IGG test and they said both came back negative!
as I said previously - you've had negative results and low positives so odds are you don't have hsv2. honestly I'd just let it go at this point and not go for the WB at this point.
aww, im soo happy for you!!!
