Four years ago I had what appeared to be a herpes outbreak on my genitals. I had a culture done and it came back positive but was never typed. I recently decided to have a blood test done to find out what type I have. The test was done by LabCorp, Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) Types 1-/2-Specific Antibodies, IgG. Test code: 164905. My results are as follows:
HSV 1 and HSV 2 – Specific Ab, IgG
HSV 1 IgG, Type Spec 1.51 High
HSV 2 IgG, Type Spec <0.91
Negative <0.91
Equivocal 0.91 – 1.09
Positive >1.09
Am I to assume my outbreak was caused by HSV 1?
Is there any need for me to retest?
Thank you for your time.
