A member asked:
I did a test for the epstein-barr virus and it turned out that igg was 2.8 and it should be less than 25. does this mean that the virus once ran through my body and should the result be 0 to be completely negative?

Over 90% of all people have been infected with EBV by your age, and all of them test positive for life. If repeated, this test will always be positive. There is little chance you'll ever have a problem with it.

Why would your epstein virus IgG and IgM go up. The IgM is still negative but the IgG is 5.14 showinga high reading . In august it was 3.44?
Does VCA IgG value 77.1 u/ml and EBV IgM value less than 10 shows current Epstein Barr Virus infection?
My IgG type specific test results were HSV1: 50.40 and HSV2: 17.60. This means i have both viruses correct? I'm confused why they are so high.
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??
