Hi Terri! In December I took a yearly std test, to my surprise I received a 1.27 index for hsv1 igg. I panicked, within a few days I retested. This time not doing a 10 panel screen but just hsv1,2 test. This came back about a week later as everything normal. Finally could breathe again. Well I went again for another full std screen a week ago. This time hsv1 came back as 1.18 index. Back to stressing out all over again. Two days later I went back for just Hsv test. I’m four days into waiting on results. At this point I understand only two ways to verify would be swabbing active area or western blot. But taking into consideration of what I mentioned above, what do you think of those results. 1.27decemeber, normal January , 1.18 august? Only issue I have with western blot is getting it shipped to me discreetly, also will a quest lab do test? Thank you

Every time you the new question it moves you farther down the list leading me to think that this is a newer question and I answered the other questions first. The inhibition assay done by quest does not result in a number like 1.26. It results in a positive with a percent or a negative. I think you might be reading this incorrectly. I would suggest that you go back and look at it again. If the inhibition assay is negative then there is normally good agreement between someone who obtains a negative inhibition assay and subsequently obtains a negative western blot.
