igg test
how accurate is a igg blood test with the results of a 3.87 20 days post exposure, i also was on valtrex 4 days before the test.
we recommend confirming anything under 5 if you haven't had a + lesion culture to confirm infection.
wow!! this is all new to me.....so is my score considered low?
better yet, is there any chance that i might not have it.

you might've even had hsv2 prior to her and never knew it.
wait and repeat your testing and go from there.

i thought that a 3.87 was extremely high!! thats why i just knew for sure that I had it. so your saying under a 5 is low? i will definitely get tested again in 3 months to confirm!! i dont know how the herpes point system work.
no i have never been tested for herpes before, this is my first herpes test. i have not been feeling sick or none of the other herpes symptoms just those painless blisters that bursted when i pulled the hair coming out of them and my lymph node in my groin was a lil swollen. ......this was a one time encounter with this chick and i used a condom until it broke and rolled all the way up on my penis, once i noticed that i was bare for about 2-3 mins i quickly put on another condom. im not freaking out if i do have it because i have read so much info on here and i think i mite can handle it...i just feel dirty. ....another question? my blisters were not painful as they say herpes blisters are, i pressed on them and everything!! and can i contract it from a female a week before her first outbreak? (she didnt know she had it till after our contact)
at this point, since you recently had sex with a new partner, you need to wait until 3 months post encounter and repeat your testing. if your hsv2 igg is still under 5 at that time, seek out a herpes WB to confirm your status. meanwhile if you have any genital symptoms before then, be seen promptly for a lesion culture and typing to try to confirm your infection.
were you ever tested for herpes before this?

after she was diagnosed, she called and told me to get tested , she said that she knew who gave it to her and that she was exposed 3 weeks prior to our contact.
to add, I had sex with a chick unprotected, then a week later she was diagnosed with herpes,
yes i had a couple of blister like bumps on my shaft near my pubic region, they were nothing like herpes blisters and they had hair in them. i just figured they was hair follicles. they bust when i pulled the hair in them ....clear fluid...no pain at all. they didnt itch either.
Did you have any specific symptoms prior to blood test ? When was the last exposure ? Was it protected / oral ? Do you know if you have been diagnosed with HSV1 ?
