A member asked:

6 wks after protected oral/vag w/ a sw, my igg hsv1 came back equivocal at 0.90! at 5 wks and prior, i was hsv1 negative. could the igg be wrong? could this result be caused by something else? early sign of genital hsv1? risk of passing to my wife?

MostAdults have HSV1: An equivocal result doesn't have much meaning by itself. If a patient should be positive, then an equivocal result can be looked upon as positive. If a patient should be negative, then an equivocal result can be looked upon as negative. If needing to get an unequivocal result, one can retest at a date when UNequivocalness is most likely to happen. If wife already has HSV1, she won't catch it anew.
