A member asked:

I had a herps test done. it came back negative. the equivocal came back 0.9 and the number next to it is 1.0. the lab report says equivocal may suggest early infection. is it possable that i had a early infection based on the equivocal result ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Equivocal Herpes : If the test shows an antibody level between these two numbers, then you've got an inconclusive result (equivocal). One way that this could happen is if the test was done right after you were infected, and your body is creating antibodies, but there aren't enough in your blood yet to tip you into the "positive" category. You'll probably want to get tested again in a month or two.
