I has hsv2 test done it was positive igg of 10.3 now 4 months later i tested negative twice? i did have an initial outbreak... what does this mean ?? am i still carrying the virus or contagious??

Some HSV blood tests have different numerical standards. How was the "initial outbreak" diagnosed? If you had a positive lab test for HSV2 from a genital lesion, that result overrules the blood test results.

My Infectious Dis. Spec. said that I was exposed to HSV2 (IgG was positive 1.76) but by my description of symptoms, he said I did not have a classical outbreak. Is there a difference between in "exposed" and having herpes? What's deal with "exposed"?
