Hi everyone. I just wanted to provide an update. I got another confirmatory test done through the quest inhibition test and it came back normal. I guess I'm a little confused? I am pretty proactive about getting STD testing every 3 months and over the course of 4-5 years, I have never had a positive herpes igg score until recently. It's been 3 months since my last sexual encounter and the confirmation test is normal. Any thoughts as to why my igg results have been elevated in recent standard tests? Again, I have no symptoms.

Thank you so much! I'm awaiting another confirmatory test. I will let you know the results.

Hello. I was hoping someone could help me understand my current situation. I was tested for HSV2 IGG on September 12th and recieved an equivocal score (0.95). I did an HSV2 confirmation test through Quest a week later and recieved a Negative <0.90 result. I believe this was called an inhibition test and the comments stated that the second part of the test was not conducted since the first part came back negative. Fast forward to two months later and my HSV2 came up positive on routine IGG test 1.15. I got another test from a different lab two days later and it says 1.19 positive. Am I to assume that I have the virus and the first confirmation was done too soon? I haven't been sexualy active since August. I have not had any symptoms and I did recieve a negative IGG in routine bloodwork in August before this all started. I'm wondering if I was exposed in August and got it at that time?
