Hi, we figure it out! Sorry for the small delay
A few questions for you: when you had the genital outbreak, did you have it swab tested to determine that it was actually herpes? And if you did have it swab tested, was it typed? What was the outbreak like?
So you are pretty clear that you’ve never had a cold sore on your lip or in your nose?
Have you been the receiver of oral sex in your lifetime?
When you say that your value was .01 over the upper limit of normal, you mean over the cutoff for negative? Can you post for me your actually lab values? And can I assume that these were IgG values, not IgM?
If you do have HSV 1, then another genital outbreak is unlikely to occur soon. It is ironic that you would have a genital outbreak 2 months after that that was herpes.
When was your last sexual contact with anyone? How long after the first antibody test did you do the second one?
Sorry for so many questions, I just want to be certain that we are covering all the bases.
