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

[cmr892]

Hello, this is not a question, I just wanted to provide an update on my situation. I’m not sure if I have used my allowed posts for my original question, if you would like me to purchase this as an additional question, please let me know. Bit of back story, I received three positive IgG HSV2 tests with values ranging from .94 to 7.65 between Feb 2022 to April 2022, two of these tests had negative supplemental results through LabCorp. I also had a negative PCR swab done in Jan 2022. I worked with my PCP to get a Westernblot sent to Washington University. I just got my result back today and was pleasantly surprised that the results were both negative for HSV type 1 and HSV type 2. I just wanted to let you know since my last IgG for HSV2 was 7.65 yet the WB was negative. Thank you for all your help, I truly believe that I would be living life believing I was HSV+ if it wasn’t for the work you do in educating society about the faults of IgG tests, Westernblot is truly the gold standard for HSV testing and is worth every penny 🙂
