A member asked:
I was just diagnosed with herpes 2 and the number is 1.6. what does this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Herpes: A lab test does not mean much in the absence of symptoms. It may only mean you have been exposed to the virus some time in your life. Ask your md for info on your particular situation.
