Labcorp Supplemental

[Burritos]

Hello Terri!

Hope you’re having a nice trip. Appreciate all you do!

I had a positive HSV-1 IGG test that was 33.3 (Knew this, not a concern for me.)

I had a positive HSV-2 IGG test 3.37.

I had a follow up Supplemental test that is NEGATIVE.

This was done with LabCorp

I’ve had a Western Blot in the past due to a similar scenario that was negative. They’re expensive and time consuming to do.

Am I able to trust the Supplemental test?

One sexual interaction with 0 intercourse.

I have never had symptoms.

I do not have proof. Previous partner assured me they were negative and it is someone I do trust to be honest.

Also, why do I keep getting false positives if this is the case?

Thanks so much!

If I were in your situation, I would believe the negative supplemental – given a previous negative blot, no intercourse, it would be a slam dunk for me not to decide to do another blot.
