Herpes test igg positive 1.69

[Troubledworried]

I went for a blood test and I got igg 1.69 positive for both herpes type 1 and type 2. I read that this is actually a grey area and that the results could be a false positive? Can someone share their experience with me or give me some advice about it?

you can only swab active symptoms. since you've had none, nothing to swab. make sense?

have you and your partner read the free herpes handbook yet that we recommend?

[Troubledworried]

I have another question, since I have no symptoms, should I got for a swab test? Is a swab test an alternative testing or just to see if I have any outbreaks now? Is it possible that I am not aware that I'm having symptoms right now?

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. I will go for the another test in a few months time. Thank you.

you tested too early for us to confirm your status at this point. either wait until 3 months post encounter and repeat the same hsv2 igg testing you had done or wait 4 months and seek out a herpes WB if you are in the US.

placing blame is never helpful with herpes since most people don't get tested to know their status. Hard to blame someone for something they didn't even know that they had.  At this point you don't even know if you have herpes or not so your partner should try being supportive instead of being a poopie head ( censors don't let me call him what I'm thinking...he he he )  Your partner should also post here with his results so I can help him with his testing too.  has he had symptoms?

The last time i had sex was around a month ago. Thank you so much for replying I was worried no one would even bother replying. I just saw my doctor and he said not to worry about anything. He said I have it in me already and the 3.5 grey area is not applicable in my test. He said the lab took a calorimetry test. There's nothing I can do now. And that if I have symptoms I will need to take pills. If not, life goes on I can live like a normal person what I'm worried about its my partner. He is blaming me because he had a positive type 2 I don't know igg or igm which is very high. According to him is around 100 but he is not giving me more information about it. He wants to know my results. He's been blaming on me and I don't know what to do. I am a depression patient and I know I won't be able to take it emotionally if he keeps on blaming me. I'm really scared and don't know what to do now. We have not been talking to each other because I can't take it anymore. He just wants to know my results so he can blame me. Now apparently he's right. I think I was the one who gave it to him. I'm sorry for the long reply. I just need someone to talk to.

thank you for clarifying that for me!

your hsv2 igg is a low positive and will need confirmed with further testing. how long prior to testing had you last had sex?

[Troubledworried]

It was separated. Type 1 is 1.693 and type 2 is 1.698

[gracefromHHP]

did you get 2 separate results that both said 1.69 or just the one result?
