Grace,
I have tested positive a year ago 1.1 index hsv 2..I am positive for HSV1. This was a suprise as I had a full STD panel including herpes run after I discovered my husband was unfaithful. I waited a year and retested negative. Then a few months later at my pap, I had another Herpes test run just to be sure it was indeed negative. The test came back equivocal 1.08 and upon retest by Dr 1.6 +..I was so upset and learned there could be cross-reactivity between HSV1 and HSV2, so I paid out of pocked few days later for LABCORP Captia test HSV2 type specfic- results equivocal again at 1.03( after testing low positive few days earlier with DOC)...Can you please advise if Western Blot should be paid for at this point? I am just confused how in one year my results are all over the place....Please advise when you can and thank you. No symptoms ever of genital lesions or outbreaks.
