Reply To: Herpes Testing Confusion

Sorry, meant to add this as part of the question. If this was a new outbreak, what would you expect the igg value to do in the 2 weeks from 8 days at 2.6 to what today 22 days post exposure? I am thinking of getting another igg elisa test and wanted to know your thoughts. If my body is fighting a new infection would the igg number now be very positive after an additional 2 weeks? Also, is a low positive unusual for an old infection? Wouldn’t you normally expect to just be strong positive if you have had the virus for a couple of years?

Thank you Terri!
