A doctor has provided 1 answer

Question unclear: HSV-1 antibody level of 0.90 is considered negative in situations where 0.90 is in the reference range of "negative" for the lab doing the test. Being negative for HSV-1 usually means a person hasn't caught oral herpes yet. First, people who worry a lot about these things need to stay away from sex workers, or end up worrying 365 days a year. Secondly, many or most adults are positive for HSV-1.
