Reply To: HSV1 positive HSV2 low positive

Thanks for the response Terri, I really appreciate all you do.

I retested again two weeks after and my results are this:
HSV-1: 39
HSV-2: 1.23

I honestly just retested to make sure the value didn’t rise immensely for HSV-2.

Question : Should a drop from 1.36 to 1.23 give any valid reassurance that this could be a false positive?

The supplemental is not being run by Labcorp right now for HSV2 testing which is not ideal because I know you have said in the past there is a good agreement between a negative supplemental and a W Blot.

Question: Is there a different test available you think I should try before I complete the Western Blot? I am now 10 weeks post exposure.

Thank you so much.
