How accurate is my test result

[gowtham1919]

Hi,

I had a protected sex on Dec7th with a Sauna lady (To be frank i just penetrated thrice in her vagina and i stopped it)later she gave me Blow job and hand job.

From 13th day after this i had a totally dry mouth and yellowish urine which burnt when i was passing urine. I some how searched the forums and got panicking about HIV. But i took all tests and all came back negative.

after nearly more than 2 months, i had a bad pharyngitis and it is still present. I went to the Doctor and told him i m freaking about the sex which i had, he examined me physically and no you are fine. I insisted him to go for complete STD checkup and ended up diagnosing in Herpes type -2.
Herpes Igg was above 1.5

I still haven't got any symptoms or any sores near my genital. I m not sure what i need to do from here. He prescribed me with Valacyclovir(500 mg) on daily basis.

Do i take the test accuracy as 100%  and i m a host for herpes?
Do i need to take the tabled every day even when i m not having cold sores?

Please help me here.. Thanks in advance

Fleetwood,

I m going to take a WB, not the regular igg test. I will hope for the best.
If you get a chance, just tell me what is the percentage that i m looking at to be negative from here.

thanks fleet.

Guys, thank you for taking time in commenting on the post.

Bigtime and feeltwood, i m totally confused from what i need to here :(
i have seen lot of post in here medhelp, who doesn't have HSV-1 and they were diagnosed as 1.5 or even 2 also multiple times and finally got a Negative Confirmation  with WB. i am having a small hope on it.

Can i pay to terrywarren to guide me? not to offense you guys. just to be definite.

Please help me.. thank you again for all your great support.

There is a reason why >1.10 is considered positive on HerpeSelect IGG tests. Even with the possibility of false positives, somebody testing outside the equivocal range and repeatedly in the positive range indicates positive to the virus. Regardless if the titer's are low in your opinion.

There is a reason the test indicates a value for positive and a value for negative. Repeated testing for a positive value makes no sense and would only clarify what one quality test is already showing.

A WesternBlot is typically ordered if someone falls under the "equivocal" range multiple times, had a sketchy encounter, or needs confirmation on a test that is a very low value that has fluctuated between positive and equivocal...not someone testing multiple times positive.

If positive once you test again...even if in the 1.4 range I would deem you positive and would take the antivirals.

Good luck man.
