Help me understand my equivocal result?
Hi I posted back in July about receiving an equivocal HSV2 IgG blood test result after a standard std check up. No symptoms. Results came back .94 equivocal. The person I last encountered unprotected sex with went to get checked and stated he was negative for everything including herpes. I am retesting in a couple of days since my recent test and am hoping to come back negative also. If anyone could shed some light about the possibility of testing equivocal then retesting negative.
Equivocal is not positive. It is it a range where the test is undetermined. There are a few possible reasons for this could be sing of an early infection or the test are picking up a protein in your blood that resembles the hsv2 antibodies.

70% of people infected with hsv2will have positive results at 6weeks
What if the person I was last sexually active with before I tested equivocal tested after I told him and he tested negative?
That is a good sign that you don’t have hsv2
