Only trust the Western Blot!
My teenage daughter finally received the accurate test results we had been awaiting, six months after her outbreak of what we had always believed to be vaginal shingles. The doctors all insisted it had to be herpes. Sure, vaginal shingles is referred to as "very rare", but it can, and did occur with my daughter. After too many false "positive" herpes select tests, I refused this cheap and INACCURATE blood test and insisted that her doctor request a Western Blot kit from U of washington - http://depts.washington.edu/rspvirus/herpes.htm
NEGATIVE NEGATIVE NEGATIVE - no doubts, no questions, well worth the extra cost that our insurance company did not cover.
I'd get the WB and be sure. A result of 4 is still within the false positive range and since you've never had symptoms it's best to confirm your status.
If your doctor uses quest labs it's test #34534.

Just got my Herpes Select 2 results from my doctor that was administered in 2005. He said it was a 4.0, is that a low or high result? He said he'd be fine administering the Western Blot test if I order it.
Any way you can get a hold of either of your blood test results to post here?
The WB is considered the gold standard of herpes blood testing. It is a good test to use to rule out false positives on other tests.
