Unfortunately, the IGm test is a waste of time and money. You now have a very low positive in spite of having a significantly higher positive earlier. Has your boyfriend been tested? If your boyfriend has tested negative, and he has been your only partner in the past three months, and you have been his only partner in the past three months, you can go ahead and do the western blot now. The timing of doing the western blot has nothing to do with your index values but it has everything to do with the last time you could’ve possibly had sex with anyone who has HSV two positive. Does that make sense?
