The IgG test misses 8% of HSV 2 compared to the western blot. So that means it picks up 92% of cases – that’s pretty good though not perfect. Whether you do the blot or not depends on how certain you want to feel about this result. Without any symptoms, that’s also a good thing in terms of not being infected.
