A member asked:
I just got my lab test results back and got a 1.08 on a hsv-2 igg test. does this mean im positive or negative or a false positive?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This is a borderline positive result. Most such results are false; probably you do not have HSV2. If you have had symptoms of a new genital herpes infection, it could be a new infection. In that case, repeat test should be more strongly positive. Repeat the same test; if not clearly negative or more strongly positive, you likely will need a confirmatory test, ideally Western blot. Good luck.
