I was told today by my PA that I for sure 100% have HSV-II. My levels are 1.09, which upon inspection of the labs lands me on the higher end of the equivocal scale.
That said, I have not had any new partners in over three years so it's highly doubtful that this is a new infection. In addition, my HSV-I level was an astonishing 45.29. (I know I have had oral herpes since childhood)
Is it possible that such a high HSV-1 score could have interfered with my levels of HSV-II?
Is an equivocal result the same as a positive result?
Is it possible that this could be a false positive?
Should I reschedule more bloodwork to see if my levels go down?
Please advise, I have already spoken to my partner about this and he will be getting tested also, but after doing more research, I feel like I may be jumping to conclusions before I have all the appropriate information.
