how can this be....
My first test a type specific Igg test results
HSV1 3.42
HSV2 3.57
Stunned. Told to accept the diagnosis. Not sure how that happened but spent a year trying to accept. Took Valtrex daily for a year.
Second test type specific Igg test
HSV2 .46
not sure what that means. How did it go from positive to negative?
6 weeks later, no valtrex type specific Igg test
HSV 2 .33
am I positive? Was I? What do I do now.

ok, no symptoms ever. I have type 1 and have since I was a kid. Like once a year I have a cold sore.
Genitally, nothing. I am hypersensitive to everything. I even stopped shaving to not confuse razor burn with herpes.
I do have a regular partner and all my previous partners when I found out I told them and they all said they were tested and they all claim to be negative.
I went back to my doctor yesterday. She said I dont have it. She said I am not contagious. She said she cant officially say there was a screw up somewhere but there was. My numbers are too low to have the virus. I dont take suppresive therapy anymore (5 weeks), but I did for a year.
The most frustrating part about all of this is all the confusing misinformation and medical professionals who have no idea what they are talking about.
I just wanted a straight answer one way or another.

Did you read my response to your first posting on this?
do you have a regular partner? have they been tested?
have you considered stopping daily suppressive therapy completely and retesting in a few months?
