IGG Antibody Positive
How long would it normally take for antibodies to be positive (>0.9) on a IGG herpes blood test?
Tingling sensations are not a symptom of a primary outbreak. That sensation is known to happen in following outbreaks. It's the sensation of the virus "crawling" along the nerve path. Testing at 8 weeks is a great indicator as over 70% would test positive by then. Twelve weeks is conclusive.
Get tested at 12 weeks and if you need confirmation, test at 16 weeks using the Western Blot.
One follow up. What if I have tingling symptoms but keep testing negative for igg antibodies but have no lesions
