Reply To: Recent Positive HSV without ever having symptoms

Thanks Terri – great info.

A few things to follow up – I’ll add if needed. You are correct, I can not say that I have been definitively tested for HSV previously. How long should I wait until trying to seek a Western blot and is it worthwhile in the meantime to see where my HSV2 IGg level is currently?

And do you have any thoughts on my test level indicating both HSV1 and HSV2 positive without any mouth or genital sores?

And just to clarify something you mentioned, when she presented to the clinic with a lesion, this could still have happened prior to her body producing antibodies?

Thanks
