I'd go Westernblot now and get the definitive answer!
I guess the question becomes what is the best way to get out of the 'grey' zone? I intend to inform all past and future partners but in a perfect world I don't want to raise undue alarm if I am truly negative.
Is the western blot premature with such a mild positive? Should I be waiting a few more months and getting another herpes select or biokit test?
If I am reading other posts right I shouldn't read anything into my test score going down from 1.6 to 1.3...as in I shouldn't cross my fingers and think in a couple more months it will be below 1 right?
Do you tell partners that you have yet to have a 'true negative' HSV2 test?
I don't know. Depends on how well you could sleep knowing that you could infect someone who trusts you. Depends on how concerned for your own physical safety you think you would feel be, in fact, did infect someone.
Why even ask the question? A decent person would disclose.
If the last test was at least 4 months post exposure then you are definitely 'grey'. A Westernblot is a great idea to advance your knowledge. It's an IgG blood test that you can have anytime now. Perhaps consider becoming a phone patient of Terri Warren's and the team will sort you out, will take a little cash but I'm sure it will give you clarity.
I think you should disclose until you know for sure that it is really negative - I just got hsv2 from a girl who said she didn't know and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Imagine how you would feel if someone got it from you and you knew you "might" have it but you didn't say anything.
Hi, and yes the value fall into the false positive range and would need retesting also if you took the blood test less than 3 months from the exposure it maybe a recent infection.
