Herpes IGG type specific test, conclusive?
Hello Terri,
I am simply seeking your opinion. I have had a herpes IGG type specific blood test done 91 days after my last sexual encounter. My Clinic called me and told me that the tests came out to be negative (both HSV-1 and HSV-2) and that 91 days was a sufficient amount of time to consider theses tests conclusive. Would you agree, or would u recommend re-testing at a later date?
Thank you for your time.

Do you have any reasons to doubt the blood test?
