I got the hsv1/2 igg test results and its showing 1.37 for hsv1 ,before a month it was 1.09h. My last exposure was in dec 24th. Does yhis mean the antobodies are buildg up? Can this be false positives?

Wcsdancer2010 - you have no idea how much your words makes me feel better everytime. Thanks again for being here for all of us,

I got 5 bumps on thw front side of the tongue,its wayback inside almost end of tongue. There are also some small pimples one side of the tongue. The bumps sort of look like round shaped ,projected and white color on the top. Have little difficulty in swolling solid food,not much discomfort. Can this be related to hsv-1?

Yup - probably just an angry cuticle or whatever :) Thank you :)

This morning almost everything have disappered There is a slight reddish tone to the skin,but thats it The watery feeling has gone and feels like other normal fingers. I dont think this can be whitlow :)

Doubt its HW... it usually gets in near the cuticle and is quite painful. Stop checking yourself from head to toe looking for something to be wrong. Believe me, 99% of people get it in one place or the other (mouth or genitals) and that's it. The reason we have a higher percentage of the "oddities" here is that people can't find information so we get a much higher incidence of the folks whose experience isn't quite "normal".... I had nothing to go on when I got Herpes (back in the late 70's) and I likely did everything "wrong" as far as having my hands in contact with the sores, sharing towels, kissing my kids (I also have H1 orally since childhood) and all that ... and I never spread it anywhere else on me :) You probably just have really dry skin thanks to the weather :/ Thank you so much. Update on the redness in fingers- the middle finger is slightly red today and skin kind of looks little rough and i can feel like some padding inside (watery slightly) there are 2,3 small pinch type red dots if i look very close. The pinky and small finger is just slightly reddish and looks like how ur fingers look like when they get beaten,redish and little swollen. No fever or no discomfort or anything. Wish i could upload some pics here. I am going for a blood test today.will keep you all posted good people.

Its been 6weeks since my last exposure. Last week i noticed a slightly reddish rash(little raised area )on the mid section of my middle finger. no itching or pain and feels watery inside. Yesterday it looked very reddish but today it looks very pale red. Noticed same thing on my other hand ring finger and on pinky. Is this herpetic whiplow? Can i get a herpetic whiplow in the 6th week? I heard whiplow is painful,but mine dosent pain or itch. Or is that because this is very initial stages and i noticed it very early? I inspect each inch of my body everyday since equivocal result day and this is the only thing i found so far. No fever ,headache and no symptoms of a primary outbreak.

Agree , will do. Thanks again

Thank you so much to both of you for the valuable answers. I asked the petson i was with and she said she never had any hsv1 or 2. I will wait for 1more month and do a retest .keep you all posted. Thanks good people

Hi everyone, First of all thank god such a community exists. I did a recent and my lifes first std check and hsv1 came back with equivocal result. It is a 1.09h for the "hsv1 igg type specific ab" I got flue 17days after my last exposure. No temperature but body pain and headache,no itching,no rashes,no cold sores. Nothibg which indicates towards herpes or any std. Did the test 28days after the last exposure. What are my chances of this being a false result? Can any pain killers cause this elevation of immune? Should i retest after 2months more since its close to a month now? Worried since 1.09h is on the higher side of equivocal. Thanks
