A member asked:
If i tested equivocal for hsv 2 (0.91) just slightly higher than negative (0.9), and for precautionary measures i'm taking valtrex, how likely is it that i can pass on hsv during sex with those values, which is not even close to positive range (1.09?

I wonder why you are on Valtrex just because of antibody testing. There is no precautionary measure that I could understand with that if you have no symptom. There is reduced chances of transmission of the virus with low virus level and the high virus level is what causes the cold sores to appear.
