Hi Terri,

Thank you for your responses, I really appreciate it. Sorry for any confusion and I am glad I was able to explain. I am definitely going to do the WB retest at 12 weeks. I am now at 10 weeks so 2 more weeks to go. Would another IGG test do anything at this point? I was 2.6 at 8 days, 2.9 at 11 days and 2.8 at 21 days when I took the test previously. If I took it now and the numbers were the same or went down would this help or shed any light on the situation? If they have gone up would that give more clarity? Previously you said there might be a cellular protein setting it off. Didn’t know if the 7 weeks since the last test would be enough time to clear anything up or help.

Before starting the thread with you and before getting the neg WB everyone on the medhelp page said that a test at 8 days would only be dealing with a past situation and not the encounter from 8 days before the test, especially with no lesions or flu like symptoms. I know you don’t say “always”, but would really like to put the positive IGG test out of my mind and focus on moving forward just dealing with the low risk one time encounter with some who statistically probably doesn’t have HSV and if they did the chance of transmitting from one time would be very low with no lesions.

I really want to get this behind me. I know you said the situation looks good, but this is still messing with me. Would really like to be able to enjoy the holidays without this hanging over my head.

Thanks, sorry for all of my insecurity and insanity….
