New to HSV2

I just recieved my results back for my HSV2 testing.  I do not understand the results.  I was told that it was a positive and I have shown no signs of an outbreak.

HSV_2 IgG 4.75

Should I get tested again I dont know what to do at this point.

Listen you're gonna go through some shock for sure, but listen up, if you have never had a problem with outbreaks, then you're freaking lucky!! you need to relish in that fact. You CAN have a life and a girlfriend, life goes on, also remember that this is just a virus, and like every cold you've ever had, that virus stays in your body, dormant, forever. It's the same concept. Love your life, take care of yourself, you will be fine. TRUST ME

I highly recommend reading the free herpes handbook by Terri Warren, our medhelp herpes expert. Just google it and it comes right up. It's filled with terrific information on herpes for more reading. also the patient counseling video on the same site is also very helpful too.

keep asking questions!

Found out my sons father had possibly slept with some one who was sleeping with people who had it. I wanted it for a piece of mind but have not had one since these results came back.

your hsv2 is positive and is over the typical low positive /false positive cut off point.  odds are you really do have hsv2.

why did you get tested?  

do you have a regular partner?
