As a quick summary of the timeline, although I had never shown symptoms to my knowledge, after I tested positive (1.1) for IgG ELISA in mid-September, I notified those I had close skin-to-skin physical (not even just sexual) contact with after ending a monogamous relationship, and those five or so individuals all had informed me they came back negative by IgG ELISA.
I had seen a few other infectious disease doctors in my area, each of whom requested their own IgG ELISA tests (all in the 1.0-1.2 range) over the course of September through December). Simultaneously, I had gotten a Western Blot test done from a sample in late October, which received an indeterminate result, and then took a confirmatory sample in early January, which again came back indeterminate. When originally discussing results with U of WA Lab contacts, they originally said that two indeterminate results is usually indicative of a false positive in ELISA. When contacting on the most recent indeterminate result, the same contact had recommended a third confirmatory test May or later, despite previous conversations on timing, though all signs so far he had said seem to point to a HSV2 negative story. With the cost of the test so high, I'm hesitant about going back for another test if further indeterminate results will continue to require further confirmatory tests.
Has anyone shared a similar kind of fact pattern or might be able to offer some guidance or insight? Unfortunately the weight of the positive tests have been heavy on my shoulders for the past half year, and even if the results end up positive in the end, I'd rather be out of this limbo. Happy to hear thoughts!
