Herpes test reading

Hi there.  I had an IGG Herpes 2 and 1 test.  My test results were (with a cutoff of 20) at 4.9 for type 1 and 10.1 for type 2.

Is 10.1 a normal number for type 2 testing, or does this indicate possibly a growing number of antibodies and that I should be checking again in a month?  10.1 seems kinda high compared to all the normal test results I've seen people post on here.  If no herpes, why would the number be that high?

It would also appear you have had an Euroimmun test with the results measured in Ru/mL(?)

Clear negative results are usually in the range of 2-12 say, so all is perfectly normal as Life says.

These results are very different to the index results provided by Herpeselect for example.

Hi, these are random generated number and only mean something if it goes into the positive range. Nothing to be at all concerned about.
