Questions:
1)Can I consider 8 wk IGG test conclusive?
It probably is about as good as it is going to get, yes.
2)If no, do I need to wait to wk 12?
Given the circumstances, that might be a good idea. Don’t take any antivirals.
2)Would HSV1 of ~2.50 more likely indicate false positive,recent infection,or >than 15 years?
It isn’t possible to say, but if goes way up at 12 weeks, it could represent a new infection.
3)Would HSV1 of 2.55 show up 7 days after exposure?
not likely, no
4)Do any of these symptoms make you think HSV1/2 is the likely cause?
not any of your symptoms, no.
5)anyway to confirm genital or oral HSV1 w/o lesions?
Is there a question there?
6)Has anyone successfully gotten answers to their “neuropathy” symptoms they believe are tied to HSV you can share?
Some people have pelvic floor issues or some have disc issues in the back.
