My relative's results came back with an hsv 2 igg of 4.96 which is way outside of the range. he is worried. are there other more accurate tests?

Unsure: What you describe is normal for someone who has had a past exposure to HSV 2 and has developed an antibody to that particular virus. When the IgG is elevated, it may indicate that the body is actively fighting that virus. This test is quite accurate for indicating past exposure to HSV 2.
