      I’ve recently gotten diagnosed with HPV2
      I just wanted to know if my IGM levels and IGG levels can indicate a false positive or if it is too soon to tell
      My last contact was a month and 2 weeks
      From the date that I was diagnosed , I’ve had no symptoms and been very stressed lately ,
      My HSV 1 IGG levels were 0.16
      IGM 0.23
      My HSV2 glycoprotein G AB IGG levels were 1.12 H
      The doctor wasn’t there when I was given the results and it was almost as if I was rushed out , they didn’t ask any questions and gave me medication to take for 7 days 3 pills a day .
      Do u think I should get retested by WB? I have a appointment with my primary doctor at NYU in about 2 days , because where I went to get tested originally at was a clinic . Please help

      The lab that did the results were
      Sunrise Medical Laboratories and the doctors worked for ModernMD
      I just want to know if I should take the blot and how high of a chance is it that it’s a false positive?

      Your low positive most definitely needs confirmation with a western blot.l I would be surprised if you are actually positive. You will need to wait 12 weeks from any concerning contact, but if both people test negative, then you can go ahead and test – and we can expect a negative.

      Ok so the second girl got tested claims she is negative I told her I need to see paper confirmation because I don’t trust anyone at this point, if she truly is negative , does that mean I’m good?

      Also I mentioned it was WB test she took but it wasn’t , it turns out she took a quest test
      And she said she is negative , I’m just waiting to see the paper Monday
