please help
I just found out that I tested a low positive for herpes 2 at 2.72 on the hsv 2 IgG type spec could this be a false positive

Ok I will talk to him about getting it done thanks for all your help and I hope you enjoy your weekend
but if your partner has hsv2, you could've potentially recently contracted it which is why getting them tested before you have the WB drawn is in your best interest to you don't have to potentially repeat the expensive wb later on. get your partner tested next!
thanks for taking the time to answer I know 1 week was early but we have only had with each other for 8 yrs now so I didn't think it would matter
I found the number to get the western blot sent to my house and a lab to draw the blood so I am crossing my fingers it will all turn out good

terri doesn't come to this forum.
at this point, get your regular partner to seek out type specific herpes igg blood testing. once you know their status, then you can figure out when you can seek out a herpes WB. testing 1 week post sex was far too early and you can't confirm a low positive until after 4 months post encounter. if your partner tests negative, you can seek out the WB at any time. hope that makes sense- just woke up from a nap...lol
