You almost certainly have a single antibody protein, it is almost every time the same one, that can be present in other disease states and also is one of the herpes antibody proteins, so when it shows up, the western blot is called indeterminate because it could be that you were in the process of making antibody and that one shows up early. That’s why the recommend that you retest in three months and if indeterminate again, consider yourself negative.
