The IgG tests that are currently routinely available have a high rate of false positives. I would not suggest using them. I suspect your symptoms are worry, not HSV symptoms, but I can’t be 100% sure. If you do test, I would suggest that you use the western blot from the UW as there are no false positives on this test. YOu can work with your own provider to get this or with me. Both work.
