Yes, I've read every posting on this site, but yet I'm still confused. I was told I was positive for HSV-2 in July 2008. When I went in this past month for my annual PAP exam/testing, my ob/gyn tested me for herpes using the HSV I/II IgM combination test, and it came back negative (<0.91). How is it possible for that test to come back negative if I was tested positive one year ago? Even with the antibodies not showing up, if I tested postive before, shouldn't I test positve now no matter what. I understand that the IgM test is not the test of choice, but I was sure that it would still read for herpes being present...HELP!
