No, I’m not saying that, I just wondered because normally HSV is not diagnosed via biopsy but HPV is and is a very common STI. I am a bit confused about the timing of your antiviral medicine use and your repeat IgG testing. For how long did you take antiviral medication and how long was the time between your first IgG test and your second IgG test.If you took an extended course of antiviral medication, it can interfere with IgG test results, causing a false negative. Also, if you test too soon after symptoms appear, that can cause a false negative. Let me know these answers please.
