A member asked:
I did bloodwork and my results for hsv2 igg came back .90. for the index interpretation included, it says .90-1.09 is equivocal but my doc said im positive without asking me to retest. ive had the same partner for 3 years. am i really positive?

Probably not, and a repeat now would not be useful. You do not need to take any special precautions as long as you or your partner have no evidence of an outbreak. It would be significant if a repeat test in a year is substantially higher (on the order of 2.0 or more) but even a persistent equivocal result is not indicative of exposure.

Hi Docs, I'm 40, female, 1st genital HSV1 ob in 2006, maybe 2nd ob in 2012. No further ob & haven't infected anyone to my knowledge including a 6 years male partner w/ unprotected sex. HSV2 igg negative. What the % of my risk infecting others now?
I tested positive for HSV2 IGG, none for IGM. I never had any symptoms, i just do a yearly STD check, and noticed i was never tested for herpes specifically. i did it this year, and positive for it. My doc said i dont need anti virals. agree?
For an IGg test for HSV2, does an index of .90 mean I have it but the virus is dormant or inactive? My doc said .90 means I have it but since the value is so low, im trying to understand if its inactive (I have no symptoms) or Im negative?
Tested positive for IgG antibodies level 5 believe he said hsv2. But doc insists that I was exposed and do not have it. I'm confused please explain?
I received a low positive 2.4 result for HSV2 IGG. I then did the ELISA Inhibition test and that came back negative. The parter who thought they had it came back negative. However, its still saying I need a retest. Am I negative?
