Can someone answer this about herpes
Once positive for herpes will you always test POSITIVE?
Depends on the test used and what strain it is. The hsv IgG can miss up to 30% of HSV1 infections and 8% of HSV2 infections. That’s not because there isn’t antibodies, it’s that the test misses it.

What does the numbers 51.80 means on a herpes test? I test 3 times from two drs.
Dr a: results were negative went with symptoms which were a bump that was painless small no leaking no nothing just there
Dr b: said positive went with the same symptoms bloodwork no swab
Dr a: negative did bloodwork and swab
What do I believe

That is a very firm positive index value. Did the test specify if that score was for HSV1 or HSV2? Or was it a combined test?
I don’t know the time frame of your testing and how long after possible exposure you were tested. But that score is firmly positive for hsv, I just don’t know which type.
