Thank you so much. I will wait until the 16th week and pursue the western blot. God speed!
Please start a new post... Please give all details of any symptoms, why you tested, oral cold sores etc.
Fleetwood20.. I have a question I had a Hsv 1 igg test done and tested positive with a 2.37. My hsv 2 was <.90.. this was done in March. I decided to have a retest today since I haven't been myself lately. What are the chances of being a false positive? Can it be my anxiety that is making me feel this way? Ever since I got the news I have this raw feeling down there. I haven't seen any fluid like blisters around my labia. What triggered my Dr. Appt today was a small red bump on my labia can this be a lesion of HSV 1?
This is a low positive result and very likely to be a false positive. Your HSV1 infection can be a factor in an elevated HSV2 outcome.
Best way to confirm is to have a Westernblot at 16 weeks.
Note that a one off encounter with no symptoms means literally only a 1 in many thousands chance of infection.
