I had an IgG retest at 12 weeks for both HSV 1 and HSV 2. This time instead of HSV 2 being equivocal at 1.01 it was negative at .82. (HSV 1 still negative as well) What do you make of my number going down? I don’t know if it matters, but the test I had at 2 months was from my right arm, and this one was from my left. Also, I had finished a dose pack of methylprednosone for a sinus infection 7 days before the re-test. Would that have affected the negative result? Just trying to determine how confident I should be with the negative result.
