What does it mean when herpes IGG test number lowers on 2nd test?
My first blood test was Igg >8.0 i just took another three months later it dropped 4.5 , does anyone know what that means ? And how come it dropped
IgG index values can vary from test to test. Rarely is it a consistent number. Both of these scores are a firm positive and tell nothing about the length or severity of the infection. It’s simply a score that confirms infection. Was this for HSV1 or HSV2? I assume it was a type specific test?

I just reviewed your other post, I should’ve done so before I replied. You had a positive swab for HSV two. Those are definitive. Your blood test confirms with the swab told you. The fluctuation in your index score really means nothing at all. Even without typical symptoms, people can carry HSV two. In fact, most people have no idea that they’re infected because they don’t have symptoms. I wish I could share better news but just know that you’re going to be OK even with the diagnosis.
