A member asked:
I just got a routine checkup and it came back with a result of hsv ii igg 1.00 ratio. i've neverhad an outbreak of genital herpes. what does this mean?

Possible exposure: This is a borderline positive result, so I'd suggest a repeat in 3 months just to confirm. It is quite possible to have been exposed to and acquire HSV2 without ever having an outbreak. You may also get very mild outbreaks so you need to be alert for the possibility. Your biggest risk is that you could be infectious without realizing it, so you may want to consider prophylactic treatment.
