I don’t know what “certified professionals” are exactly, but the CDC and FDA and NIH are all very aware of the high rate of false positive results on IgG tests for HSV 1 and 2. Not every single result in the low positive ranges are false positives but for example, at 1.44, there is an 85% chance that this is a false positive.
