HSV 1 IgG and HSV 2 IgG results 0,9

Hi, I've tested and got 0,9 for both HSV 1 and 2 IgG.
IgM came negative (but I've heard it is useless?).

I have had unprotected sex with 3 girls in the past 3 months (all friends).
I don't have any symptoms, this was a routine test.

Do I have herpes? What should I do?

Thanks :)

your herpes test results are negative if you got a .9 both hsv1 and a .9 for hsv2.

did you have your testing done at least 3 months after the last time you had sex with anyone?

did you also cover the other std testing bases?

typically that's only used on females and only tests for the high risk types of hpv from the cervix.

I see, here in Brazil I think I can get tested for some (most important) HPV types at the STD Prevention Centre (for free). It is the Hybrid Capture Test.

Well, anyway, that answered my question, Grace.

I really appreciate your help.

Thanks a lot.

we don't have commercially available hpv testing that covers males and females, external and internal hpv infections to get any testing done.

Hi Grace, we haven't taken gardasil shots, but that is a good idea :)
Do we need to test for HPV prior to taking it?

Thank you :)

it's being sexually responsible for you both to get full std testing prior to becoming intimate together :)

You'll need to wait for herpes, hepatitis and hiv testing to be accurate 3 months after you last had sex with anyone.

have you and your partner both had your gardasil shots?

Hi Grace, thanks for the quick reply.

No, the test wasn't done at least 3 months after last time I had sex with anyone. But I am seeing just one girl now, what releases me some doubts:

1. Do you think I should talk to her and have her tested?
2. Should I repeat the test in 3 months from now?
3. Should I stop having sex, even if I use a condom?

I covered other tests indeed, negative for HIV, Sifilis, Hepatitis.

Thank you :)
