Hi Terri,
A follow up. I did another IGG test at 10 weeks and the value went from 2.6 at 8 days to 2.8 at 3 weeks to 2.01 at 10 weeks. HSV -1 still negative. Would you expect the igg level to be increasing rather than a significant decrease at 10 weeks? Like you said previously, probably a cellular protein if false positive so not a valid test for me, but hoping this is a good sign that igg levels decreasing rather than increasing. Again, had the negative WB at 17 days so we know it is not an existing infection prior to encounter, no other possible exposures 6-8 months before WB. If producing antibodies that soon after, 8 days, wouldn’t you expect a much stronger reading by 10 weeks? Thanks!
