What does 3.90 antibodies mean?

695
I was resently tested and the IgG came back with a 3.90 antibody count. But I have never had a break out. I asked the doctor what it meant. She said I have it, but then another doctor said " It only means that you have the antibodies, if you have a break out come back and see us so we can swab. Who should I believe? Please help

You asked about this in the other thread and I'll address it here. You are still within the area where false positives are a possibility so since you've had no obvious symptoms, you should confirm your results with an additional test like the WB for herpes or a biokit hsv2 igg blood test. If it hasn't been at least 4 months since you last had sex, you'll need to wait to get this additional testing.
