Igg test results

[Silentbass]

I had unprotected oral on 1/29 and have not had any outbreaks.

I tested positive for hsv1 igg on 2/21 with 1.48. Tested again on 2/26 with hsv1 testing negative. Tested again on 3/2 and it tested positive with 1.29.

What are your thoughts? How should i proceed? Been scared to be intimate with anyone. Even kiss loved ones.

I realized I wasn’t very distinct with my questions.

1. What do you make of my test results?

2. Should I do one more IGG or go straight to the western blot?

3. Does my low IGG levels indicate a new infection? If so, could my IGG get to these levels within the timing of the test?

4. What should I expect my IGG levels to do over time?

5. If I never have an OB, how do I know if it’s GHSV1 or OHSV1?

6. Should I be concerned about being close (kissing) loved ones and such?

Apologies. Did I not ask the question in the correct way? I’m really anxious and stressed out. Please help me better understand my situation.

1. What do you make of my test results?
these could be false positive results or true positives – no way to know. Have you ever had a cold sore on your lip or in your nose? If yes, then that’s why it is positive

2. Should I do one more IGG or go straight to the western blot?
No more IgG testing needed – do the blot if you want to know.

3. Does my low IGG levels indicate a new infection? If so, could my IGG get to these levels within the timing of the test?
We cannot know as your IgG is staying pretty much the same with multiple draws

4. What should I expect my IGG levels to do over time?
Difficult to predict. Most people with long standing HSV 1 infections go higher

5. If I never have an OB, how do I know if it’s GHSV1 or OHSV1?
You cannot know

6. Should I be concerned about being close (kissing) loved ones and such?
Mouth kissing is the only risk of kissing.
