Reply To: Low Positive IGG Four Weeks

There is absolutely no risk to your child from changing diapers or interacting in any way. I assume that you are normally washing your hands after using the bathroom and that’s all you need to do.

Whether the moisture that you are feeling has anything to do with herpes I cannot say but that’s usually not a complaint that I hear from people who have herpes.

Unfortunately for you, the only way you are going to know is this value is a true or false positive is to wait and have a western blot done or another ELISA that is much higher than the one you already have. How long has it been now since the contact in question?
