HSV Test Results
I'm in a current relationship and very recently (1/5/11) had a complete STD screening. I have not had sex of any kind since 1994. All my results came back negative, and the doctor told me my HSV is negative also, explaing the non-type specific HSV 1/2 IGG AB result is extremely misleading. It's the default (and most unreliable) test and the lab always performs it along with the other HSV tests. I did have chickenpox as a child.
Here are the results and I'd appreciate an interpretation:
HSV 1/2IGG/IGM ABS with Reflex Profile
HSV 1/2 IGG AB -LA - Result = 1.17
0.99 = Postive - May indicate a current or previous infection.
HSV 1/2 IGM AB - LA - Result = 0.44
1.09 = Positive - May indicate a current or recent HSV infection.
HSV1/HSV2 Glycoprotein IGG-RL Profile
HSV1 Glyco G IGG -LA - Result = 0.73
1.10 = Positive
HSV2 Glyco G IGG -RL - Result = 0.58
1.10 = Positive

your combined herpes igg was positive. the combined test is pretty much a waste of time.
your hsv1 igg was negative.
your hsv2 igg was negative.

your hsv1 igg was negative.
your hsv2 igg was negative.

Oh yeah, I'm actually a very patient guy. ;) I just posted the followup because using special characters seemed to delete some of the detection ranges. Grace probably doesn't need them anyway, just the actual results, but I tend to get a bit anal. I'm a systems analyst/software engineer by profession. :) I like specifics with all the details before I dive into any problem.
I'm reposting because using Less Than and Greater Than characters seems to have prevented some of the result ranges from showing.
My girlfriend also had a complete screening and all her results came back negative. One more bit of info: The reason for all this testing is she became symptomatic for Trichonomias. She had a relatively long-term relationship a little over a year ago. I never had symptoms of Trich, but my doctor treated me for this as a precaution (4 500 MG Metronidazole tablets).
HSV 1/2IGG/IGM ABS with Reflex Profile
HSV 1/2 IGG AB -LA - Result = 1.17
Less Than 0.80 - Negative
0.80 - 0.99 - Equivocal - Repeat testing in 10-14 days may be helpful
Greater Than 0.99 - Postive - May indicate a current or previous infection.
HSV 1/2 IGM AB - LA - Result = 0.44
Less Than 0.90 - Negative
0.90 - 1.09 - Equivocal - Repeat testing in 10-14 days may be helpful
Greater Than 1.09 - Positive - May indicate a current or recent HSV infection.
HSV1/HSV2 Glycoprotein IGG-RL Profile
HSV1 Glyco G IGG -LA - Result = 0.73
Less Than 0.90 - Negative

Greater Than 1.10 - Positive
HSV2 Glyco G IGG -RL - Result = 0.58
Less Than 0.90 - Negative
0.90 - 1.10 - Equivocal - Repeat testing in 4 - 12 weeks may be helpful
