could the HSV 2 IgG >5.00 be wrong
March 2007 I found about my husband was having an affair, March 2008 I did blood work to see if I had any STD's because my husband was on his 2nd affair, No symptoms, just a suggestions from my dr. to get tested. SHOCKED (03/2008) my test came back HSV 1 IgG 5.00. I never had and still haven't (thank goodness) had ANY outbreaks, symptoms nothing. Plus I just went through the most stressful 2 years of divorce. Still nothing. I made my former husband get tested in 2008 he tested HSV2 IgG <0.91. So my doctor seems to thing I have had this a long time and my husband doesn’t. Seriously what should I do? I haven't had any more test done, no out breaks. Just allot of worries. How do I start a new relationship? Do I have HSV 2? Is there anyway this could be wrong?
Sorry you have been going through all of this.
The one that was 5.0 is positive - according to your last post, that was HSV-2. If he tested negative for the same type, then you probably had it prior to being with him and didn't know it or have any outbreaks. Given that neither of you knew about it, how scary that he was out there having affairs and potentially spreading it around - thankfully for those women, he didn't get it, though i bet you're pissed that you have it and he doesn't - i don't blame you. Did you see his actual results or did he just tell you that?
A person can't just be a "carrier" but not have it.
As for future relationships: I hope you are taking the medication. This will be the best way to protect your partners. Make sure to have protected sex with a condom, avoid sex during an outbreak if you have one, and inform your partners if you intend to develop a more meaningful relationship. The "keepers" will understand and be able to openly discuss it with you in a supportive way - that's how u sort out the men from the boys at the outset. Also be supportive of them if they do not know the facts and help them to understand how low their risk is (if you are on medication and using protection and not having an outbreak) ... they may turn into keepers!
Right now all of this is very upsetting, but as you learn more, you will find you can have a healthy normal relationship after discovering you have HSV-2.
Good luck and please confirm if your last post was the correct one.

I give up my HSV 1 was neg 0.90 and HSV 2 was pos 5.0 for me
he only teste HSV 2 it was neg 0.90
he only teste HSV 2 it was neg 0.90
AND again something is not uploding correctly, maybe user error. Yet again I've posted this wrong...errrr
my test HSV 1 = 5.00
His test HSV 2 = <0.90
This was last year 03/2008
Neither one of us have ever had issues, problems or out breaks. Could the test be wrong? Can a person be a carrier only?
