Just wanted to update:
I gave the above referenced materials to my doctor and I recieved a receptive response. Upon discussion we agreed additional testing was warranted. My Dr. ordered another HerpeSelect, but w/ Reflex to inhibition. Only tested for HSV2 as my prior HSV1 was 5+. Results were as follows (test was done 14 days after 1st test):
HSV 2 IGG, Herpeselect = 1.63H EIA value.
HSV 2 IGG Inhibition, ELISA = Positive
XE
My current partner's results came back at less that .15 for both HSV1 and HSV2. I've been exclusive with my current partner for 9+ months so I don't believe I have a risk for recent exposure.
Based on what I have read here it seems the positive ELISA test is not definitive and I am also not sure how the two tests differ. The only reference to the differences between the tests I could locate was at
http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/609101. There, Dr. Hook indicated that the two test are very similar and can't be considered different results.
My Dr. is now checking into obtaining a Biokit test.
