hsv 2 test score

[confused88]

Hi Terri,

Im a 32 year old male. I got out of a monogamous relationship this past June and entered the dating scene for the first time in close to 5 years. After dating around a bit, I decided to go get tested for my own peace of mind. I had no symptoms or reason to get tested. My questionable encounters happened in the middle of November, and my first test was on December 10th.

Everything came back negative, accept my IgM score came back slightly elevated…. I believe around a 1.3. After finally getting a hold of the nurse where I was tested, he informed me that I had hsv 1, but didn’t have genital Herpes. I have no idea why he told me that considering there was no IgG done.

I was tested again at a different office by IgG in late December. My results were as followed:

HSV 1 – 14.80
HSV 2 – 1.22

IgM – 1.05

I have never had any symptoms to my knowledge of either hsv 1 or 2.

How likely is it that my hsv 2 is a false positive?

Does my low hsv 2 score indicate it was a recent exposure?

Thank you so much for your help!

So you’ve now posted twice with the same question. How about we don’t post on this thread anymore and just use the other one and you can post double the number of questions on the other one, OK?
