Terri,

Thank you again. Sorry, there were a few questions from my last post that I would really like to get your opinion on. 2.6 igg with no symptoms at 8 days past encounter. I know you can’t give absolutes, but I am assuming that is almost impossible. I read on one of your medhelp threads one of the earliest you have ever seen was 10 days with very low positive index and very visible symptoms. To figure out if it would make any sense to get an igg test I would like to get an idea what to expect. If it is a long term infection would the number stay close to the same? If it is something cross reacting and causing a false positive would the number stay close to the same? If it is a new infection that caused a 2.6 at 8 days, would you expect a significantly higher positive 2 weeks later? over 3.5? I would also like to get your opinion from the past. Again, no absolutes, but one encounter, no symptoms and a very low igg at 13 weeks is very conclusive. I know there are always exceptions and it could be a late seroconversion, but very very low possibility. I have seen many posts where they say that is conclusive from medhelp experts.

Thank you again for all of your help. I really appreciate your answers guidance on this matter.
