understanding test results
what does this mean okay i had a vaginal ulcer that lasted about 1 month and then a rash in the vaginal area went to the dr. they did a couple of blood tests here are the results 1st test : hsv-2 positive type spec. igg 2nd test: hsv1/2 pos 1.1 hsv 1 igg spec. <.91 neg. hsv2 type spec. <.91 neg. 3rd tests hsv1/2 1.3 hsv1 neg. hsv2 neg does this make any sense also do i have herpes?
should you get a return of symptoms, see your provider within 24-48 hours for further evaluation. they should be doing lesion cultures and typing on active symptoms, not blood tests.

is it possible that with my symptoms that my neg. hsv-1 igg type spec. and neg.hsv-2 type spec. blood tests that i have hsv-2 and the antibodies just aren't going to ever show pos. with a herpeselect blood test?
You do not have hsv2 - your 1.5 hsv2 igg was a false positive since all other testing has been negative for hsv2.

so one more question so the hsv-2igg 1.5pos. is not accurate since i have 2 neg. herpeselect test ran am i right about that?
