1. I read one of your statements before that this can be sometimes an expected variation that is non-significant. Should it be reassuring that the IgG did not not increase?
Yes, you should
2. I read online recently about someone who had a similar testing experience with an equivocal result but then had an outbreak a few weeks after their last test which was swabbed and positive. Should IgG levels be rising over time if it were a true infection?
Someone can definitely have an equivocal result and be infected, especially if they test too soon after acquiring a new infection. You went from low positive to equivocal, which is the right direction to go.
3. I will be testing again soon for another inhibition reflex from Quest. I believe I am one or two weeks too early for the WB. Would you still recommend the WB for my situation or should I not be too concerned?
I don’t think you should be too concerned, no.
