HSV2 Elisa Euroimmun test positive
Hi
I was sexually active for awhile so I recently took a test for all STDs including herpes (I never have any symptom). And all other testes came back negative except HSV2. I believe the test used is call HSV-2 Antibody IgG Elisa Euroimmun test, my result is 43.5 RU/ml which is a positive according to the index.
I want to know what are the chances of a false positive for this index? And what are the chances that the index will be lowered to a point that it will become a negative?
Thank you

Hi Life360,
Sorry to bother you, I am hoping you can also chip in some thoughts for my result. Although Fleetwood20 already mention it is a low positive. But I want to gather more confidence into this. I hope you can understand.

Thank you very much for the answer!
I understand I might still be a positive but that is kind of a relieve for me now.

Yes that's a low positive. A true positive is over 70 with that test.
If you have had no symptoms, retest in a few weeks.

Hi,
Thanks for the respond.
Below is the Interpretation notes.
Concentration Recommendation
<16.0 RU/ml Negative-unlikely infected with HSV1 or 2
16.0-=22.0 RU/ml Positive-likely infected with HSV 1 or 2
Recommend for clinical examination and review

Hi, can you find out the positive negative range involved? Like what is the first positive number?
