Yes I’m in fort myers, Florida . Sadly it was my OB-GYN who ordered that test for me as I’m currently pregnant causing me more distress.
The titer result cut off is at 1:20 as well. So for type 1 Igm it was 1:40. My IgG was 18 <.90 and type 2 was negative IgG but IgM was 1:20 right at the cutoff. I really don’t think it’s Hsv 2 the swab came back negative for that and positive for type 1 and I got tested 3 years ago for both types and was negative for both I’m assuming I must have had type 1 for a while and just now experienced a outbreak. Been with my boyfriend 9 years and he has it. It was a risk I knew about but the Hsv 2 doesn’t make sense to me…unless he cheated.
