Reply To: Elisa IGG Blood Test for HSV

[silentrican20]

I plan on sending it over to the University of Washington this Monday or Tuesday.

My last two questions:

1) Through your experience what are the main reasons why HSV2 is missed with Elisa testing? I understand that testing too early can cause a false negative but what are the other reasons than that?

2) How rare are false negatives compared to false positives? Are there more false negatives or positives through your experience?

Thanks again for everything. This service is awesome and has been super helpful. Take care.
