Tested 2.07 on Hvs2 IgG. And negative on Hvs1
I'm not going to try and convince myself that the results HAVE to be wrong but, what should I do now?
I've read so much on the subject in the past week my eyes hurt.
Anyways.. I have had 2 partners one year ago. First was mutual oral twice.
The 2nd was a mix of oral and sex about 10 times total.
It has been a year since I have been sexualy active.
Before that is I was in a 6 year committed relationship and we both tested negative for everything on the full panel test.
So.... Now what do I do? Get another IgG test after some time? Join Indiana Jones in the quest to find a Dr that will administer the Western Blot test? Any information is helpful.
And please do not mistake my making light of a bad situation. It's intended to help others dealing with the test results. When I seen my test I had a panic attack.

Based on the fact that you haven’t been sexually activ for a year and the test shows very low positive, without you mentioning you have any symptoms, makes me believe it’s false positive. It’s enough time to make antibodies, if you are truly positive the test would show way higher numeric value. As ToolHip1973 advice you, go get Westen Blot rest to confirm it. I bet you are negative
Without any symptoms, and the numeric value under 3.5 it could be false positive. Wait couple of weeks and test again, if the numeric value does not go up you are negative. The test is sensitive and could pick up some odd proteins. It’s been long enough to build antibodies. I doubt you are positive.

Thank you Marvroni. But might I ask upon what information your answer is based on? I am in no way trying to be disrespectful.. Just curious ☺.
Go straight to an hsv Western Blot. This will give you confirmation either way. And Marvroni gave you legit advice. Read up on the advice of Terri Warren or the doctors on the ASHA website, or even the CDC who recommended confirmatory testing in the cases of low positives. Good luck.
