Herpes blood test interpretation
I am sorry for asking the same question again. I missed out a portion of my earlier question. That's why posted again.
I recently did a blood test for HSV1, HSV2, PCR for HSV. I got the below result:
HSV I Igg (Method: Elisa): 4.86 A.I
HSV II Igg (Method: Elisa): 3.31 A.I
HSV I Igm (Method: Elisa): 0.11 COI
HSV II Igm (Method: Elisa): 0.42 COI
HSV DNA by PCR (Qualitative): Result: Negative
This test done by REAL TIME PCR for the highly conserved sequence encoding for THYMIDINE KINASE-3 in Herpes Simplex Virus in Roche Light cycler 2.0
What does my result indicates. Do I have HSV I and HSV II? If I have HSV I and HSV II as positive, then why is my PCR negative. Please help me

not too surprising you are also hsv1+, most adults are whether they get obvious cold sores or not to know it.
the pcr test actually looks for herpes dna. since herpes isn't a blood borne virus, getting a pcr blood test is useless in most situations. we typically use it on obvious lesions to look for herpes.
if your partner is hsv1 negative, you can perform protected oral sex on him if you both prefer that.

I had my first symptom in my genital area 10 years before and I had HSV II Igg positive result at that time. The symptoms were:- in the periods time, initial itching in the genital area, then becoming reddish, then forming an ulcer kind of sore, then burning sensation and pain while urinating. But I dint test for HSV I as I didn't notice any fever blisters in my face or any other parts (or I might have missed to notice). Now only I wanted to test for HSV I also (as I thought of giving pleasure to my partner atleast orally. He is not infected with any STD) . I was surprised to see the result for HSV I also as positive. But I got confused with the PCR result. What for the PCR test is done and with which specimen it need to be done? I just want to give him pleasure using whatever method that is safe for him. That's y I am asking these many questions to you. Sorry for troubling this much.
pcr can not be done on blood on adults. herpes is not a blood borne infection so using pcr on blood to diagnose herpes is pretty much worthless outside of research situations when it comes to adults. Your provider spent a lot of money needlessly by ordering that test on you :(
why did you get tested? did you have symptoms?

Please keep all your questions in a single post.
I can't tell you your status on this as it needs to be read by someone like grace. If she doesn't respond by monday just simply post "bump" and she can look at this post.
