Reply To: Inquiry regarding equivocal results

[bf1008]

Thank you Terri. A brief refresher on my case:

I am male. My last sexual encounter (oral and vaginal) was on May 28, 2023 and with a woman who is HSV-2 positive.

I tested equivocal on a HSV-2 Igg test on two separate occasions:

June 10, 2023
1.01

June 17, 2023
1.00
I also had a negative swab test at that time.

My update is I took a third HSV-2 Igg test on July 28, 2023. The result was negative.

Given the results what do you think is the likelihood that I am truly HSV-2 negative?

I plan to remain abstinent and take a HSV-2 Igg test around August 19, 2023. Depending on the result, I may pursue the Western Blot for certainty/closure.
