Thank you!

Its all so confusing. I think im going to take the elisa confirmatory one and test for both. Then take the western blot.

Its been a whirlwind of emotions. The doctor had no idea. I had to tell her about confirmatory test and which one to order. I feel if dr is going to run blood for either hsv1 or 2 they shld be familiar with false positives and or confirmatory tests . She didnt even screen for hsv1 only 2. I would think i have antibodies for 1 since my mom and ex bf get sores once in a while. I havent had one.

You are right. Its such a hard conversation to have but your perspective makes it much easier to address.

I just went in for a std check up and the doctor ran it. I didnt have reason to think i was exposed to hsv 2 specifically.

Hello, Quest igg came back 1.96. I took quest confirmatory test 6 weeks post exposure and inhibition could not be ran because it came out negative but my index number still 1.94. 1st doctor said i was still considered positive. 2nd doctor who was a bit more familiar with confirmatory test said inhibiton test coming out negative stated that it was a likely hood of being a false positive. will be re doing inhibition test again at 12 weeks. Question-should i disclose this to current partner ? Or steer clear of him until i confirm? I just happened to go in for an sdt check but i havent had any symptoms etc. Thanks.
