@mr_hopp thank you for the response and you are right about not trying to over stress but it’s definitely not the easiest thing to do!
A couple follow up questions and then hopefully I can try to relax and wait this current potential exposure out.
1. being that the supplemental test came back negative, that would mean I’m negative for hsv2 outside of the protected exposure that took place 3 days before my initial Labcorp test as my only other partner is my long term partner of 10+ years.
2. what would the earliest antibodies would start to develop from the current exposure? I’m guessing I wouldn’t get a 1.06 equivocal or 1.88 hsv1 igg if this was related to the encounter 3 days before the Labcorp test, correct? Trying to see if these values were somehow related to the recent event or not. From what I’ve read online, antibodies don’t start to show up until 21 days plus. Is this accurate?
3. with a 1.88 hsv1 igg if this was a previous infection, I would think the number would be a healthier number, at least above 5-6, right? Many folks online that are known positive are in the double digits from an igg standpoint vs the 1.88 I received.
