I am a male, 24 years old.
I had a 1 sexual encounter on 5/28 and engaged in unprotected oral and vaginal sex. (She told me she was STD free) To be safe, I got a full STD panel (I have no symptoms) included I was tested for HSV1/2 on 8/2 (66 days after exposure) The test was through Quest and was a type specific IgG test with index values as followed:
<.90 negative
.90 – 1.09 equivocal
>1.09 positive
My results:
HSV1 .93 H equivocal
HSV2 .90 negative
My questions:
1.) Is 9+ weeks enough time to get an IgG test for HSV1?
2.) Is this result most likely negative?
3.) I’m getting the Western Blot, how accurate is that at determining a true negative/positive at 12 weeks post exposure? I guess I’m just scared of getting a “indeterminate” result in the event 12 weeks isn’t enough time.
4.) is there anyone who personally tested equivocal and resulted in a negative with WB?
