Reply To: Next Steps: HSV2 IgG low positive with two negative supplemental tests

[cmr892]

All’s forgiven, thank you for the relay! I have never had a cold sore before, neither on my lip or nose. I was only give the seven day antivirus medication, so I am not taking that anymore and will plan to avoid any future antivirals until after the blot is done. My PCP has scheduled another IgG four weeks since my last one to see if anything changes with the supplemental result, but I definitely plan on pursuing a Western blot once I get those results back. I will follow the instructions on your site to set up the consultation with you and call the university to get the kit. I’m glad it seems plausible that it’s a false positive, I’m looking forward to getting a definitive answer. Thank you for all you do and hope to do the consultation soon!
