herpes test results???

I got tested like 3 weeks ago and i was wondering if i'm positive or not??


here are my test results

HSV 2 IgG, Type Spec     6.78     H.  0.00-0.09    index.  final 2
comment:    negative 1.09

Note: Negative indicates no antibodies detected to HSV2. Equivocal may suggest early infection. If clinically appropriate, retest at later date. Positive indicates antibodies detected to HSV2; coinfection with HSV1 cannot be excluded without type specific testing.

You can safely become pregnant and not infect your baby following your doctor's advice.

HSV2 cannot in any way become HIV. Theoretically the odds if you are exposed to HIV that you then may become infected are slightly elevated in a person with HSV2. However if you partner does not have HIV you cannot be infected sexually.

HSV2 is its own virus with no association to any other disease.

You need to take the medications your doctor has prescribed through to completion.

Antiviral medicines will help with symptoms, a common medicine is Acyclovir, is this what you have?

You are having symptoms that may not be related to herpes so continue to follow up if things do not clear up to normal.

You and your boyfriend should both obtain full STD testing including HSV to establish your statuses.

Yes this is the appropriate test for HSV2 and the outcome is conclusive as to infection.

Why did you test? Have there been symptoms or concerns with sexual partners?
