yes, they are simply not educated in the field. You should print out the CDC STD treatment guidelines about herpes antibody testing – they are very clear about the problems with the IgG test.
1.Also with a low IgG number would that be a recent exposure or an old one?
It could be either or a false positive.
2. What would you expect someone’s IgG number to be around after 6 months of exposure?
Well, it varies from person to person but I would think most often higher than 5.
