Question
1. Could December’s test be a false positive? Since it’s in that questionable low range below 3.5?
Yes, it could be a false positive. In fact, there is an 85% chance it is a false positive. I would strongly suggest a herpes western blot for confirmation.
2. What could be causing the long term elevated IgM?i I get my IgM levels run (not hsv) & my IgM’s are always elevated around 391. Is there any correlation here?
The IgM test for herpes is notoriously bad and inaccurate and has many false positives (the IgM is positive but the person never becomes IgG positive ) I would ignore it completely
3.Would the higher dose of Valtrex (1G) since June cause an extended delay in sero-conversion?
You’ve been taking Valtrex since June every day, I gram? That could definitely interfere with serconversion yes. I would recommend stopping that.
4. Could my IgG deficiency be the reason for the possible delay in Sero-Conversion?
I’ve tested + for Epstein Bar, + low range RF Factors & have had Shingles. I’ve ordered the Western Blot blood draw sched for Mar 19.
I don’t know anything about the IgG deficiency and how it would affect your testing, honestly. Guess I should but I just don’t.
