Your sexual situation did not present a significant risk for acquiring HSV 2. Your low positive index values are staying low positive so they don’t really suggest a new infection to me. That’s not to say it isn’t possible that this represents a herpes infection but I’m doubting it.
We have several people in our database who have had a positive inhibition assay and a negative western blot so I guess I would suggest a western blot IF your inhibition assay is positive.
