HSV: Assume you are having antibody tests. HSV antibody tests are ordered primarily when someone is being screened for a previous exposure to HSV. Acute and convalescent HSV antibody testing may be ordered when a current infection is suspected, although the best way to show this is through viral cultures or DNA testing of specimens from lesions. When you get the results they should show normal values.

I went to get tested for STDs, started to feel discomfort & sores around my vulva. My lab results came back positive for YI and BV. Also, Hsv-1. Could the Hsv-1 be in my genital region? Is it possible to test positive for hsv1 and have it down ther?
I just got my lab test results back and got a 1.08 on a HSV-2 IgG test. Does this mean Im positive or negative or a false positive?
I do not understand my STD lab test results. The reading for HSV 1 is 0.17 & for HSV 2 is 0.34. HCV ratio is 0.02. Am I positive for these diseases???
Can a PCR HSV test that was a swab test meant for genitals be used on the mouth and if so would the lab results show it was the mouth swabbed and not saythe vagina. Someone has done a PCR test but said they did it themselves and have read about this?
Ive done home HSV swabs with 24/7 lab kit, negative results both times. They said the swabs are good stored at 2-30 degrees C. Could they get too hot in the mail trucks and create false results? Im worried the virus if present wasnt stable in heat?
