are you male or female?
when did you last have sex prior to testing?

I'm a male but the last time I had sex was last week. Prior to that was march 19th.
you need to wait 3 months after you last had sex and repeat your herpes igg blood testing and go from there. you tested too early for us to confirm your status yet.

Thabk you but I'm still kind of nervous and just wanted to know how accurate was the igg test and should I get a western blot after the 3 months are over
start with repeating your igg test. if it's still a low positive, then a WB can be done after 4 months after you had last had sex.
I took another std test and it still a low positive for herpes but this time my score came back lower than it was before. Last time it was 2.14 now it's 1.65.
What does this mean.? & what should I do now.?
it's still a low positive. a herpes WB blood test is the next step.
Where would I find this test.? And is it possible for other infections like yeast to be mistaken in the blood as herpes antibodies.
if you have a quest labs near you, your provider can order it to be done through them.
no, yeast won't cause a false positive herpes igg.
Another question how come my score decreased.? It went from 2.14-1.65
And thanks for all the help :-)
you will get different results each time you take the test due to many factors. the changes in the results though don't have any real meaning.
