IGG CROSS REACTIVY POSITIVE??? PLEASE HELP

[yellow1674582015]

CAN A HIGH HSV1 IGG CAUSE CROSS REACTIVTY AND GIVE A POSITIVE HSV 2  DIAGNOSIS?
I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY SYMPTOMS, LESIONS, SORES, OUT BREAKS ANDYTHING OF THE SORT.

HSV 1 40.0
HSV 2 4.2

I HAVE READ MANY TIMES ONTIS BOARD AND OTHERS , THAT LAB CORP HAS BEEN WRONG NUMEROUS TIMES.

ALSO, DOES A HIGH IGG MEAN RECENTLY INFECTED ? OR PREVIOUSLY? SINCE THE ANTIBODIES ARE SO HIGH

The highest risk of false positives is in results less than 5 which is why I recommended the further testing.

I think at this point you can retest with a different lab for Herpeselect type specific IgG if those give you unclear answers Western Blot would be conclusive

Sorry , anything over a 3.5 being a solid positive

Thank you. Yes, no genital symptoms as discribed with a classical outbrrak. I have been killing my brain. Researching and reading everything medically possible. I just dont understand why these thinga arwnt explained during testing.
Ive read more than once people getting false positives. However, it seems anything under 2.0 may be a false positive, anything over 2.0 is a solid positive. But i feel that the index level should be re evaluated since hsv 1 and 2 share 50% of identical DNA. Does this sound clinically sound? With my low level of biological and clinical studies frim researching medical papers and ration findings.

yes, having hsv1 can cause a false positive hsv2 igg.

since your hsv2 igg is under 5 and I presume you've had no symptoms, best to seek out confirmatory testing with a herpes WB blood test. For more details, read the testing section in the free herpes handbook by Terri Warren. google it and it comes right up.
