Can you please expand? My doctor seems to think I do and just gave me a prescritpion for Valtrex?
Thanks. CM
how long did you take the test? after 3~4 months.
suggest repeat it 2 months later.
None of the tests you had done show that you are infected with herpes. Your igg's are both negative. Your igm is still technically negative but it's a poor test in general and shouldn't be used to diagnose someone as having hsv -

Did you have any genital symptoms or was this just a routine screening you had done?

Grace:
Thank you for your response, however I am still not sleeping.
I had a routine STD check on Jan 2, 2009. All three results came back negative. My recent results: Neg HSV I and HSV II ......BUT HSV IgM I/II, Combination .94 Equivocal were taken April 24th. I have not engaged in any risky behavoir in that period Jan. to April.
However, my doctor noticed the combination went from neg to .94 equivocal and told me I have and or may be getting herpes. I don't even know which type? I just took a more specific test yesterday.
Seeing I was neg with the HSV Combo in Jan 09 and .94 in April, does that mean I will be getting herpes, and if so which type since they were just reported as both neg on April 24th.
I am a 35 straight male. I have had no signs of any outbreak anywhere. I am still flipping out...
Thanks for any and all comments.
Did you read the post about the igm testing and why it's useless?
