Reply To: Herpeselcet HSV2 equivocal

[Terri Warren]

Yes I believe that you can relax about your herpes antibody testing. I think it is likely that you have some protein within your own body, unrelated to herpes, that is causing the HSV 2 test to be a little more reactive than the typical negative but I don’t think it indicates that you should be worried about HSV 2. As it turns out, this is not that uncommon.

If you test again, this could happen again. Unless the numbers are really higher, I would not worry about it
