  1. So in both July and October, I got tested for Herpes type 2 and both came out equivocal--last sex encounter was late May or early June. I've never had symptoms I just got tested because why not. I just got tested again on Dec 4th and it came back borderline positive 1.11

    My doctor says she cant tell me a definite answer because i have no symptoms and these antibody tests are known to produce a lot of false positives. what should I think of this?

  2. at the end of July I went to go get tested for type 2 herpes (without any symptoms) but just for reassurance. The last sexual encounter I had before my bf (who tested negative) who in either late may/early june. My test in july came becak equivocal as .97 and I took it again on Oct 2nd and it came back equivocal again as 1.08...how should I make sense of this? Is it more likely I have it since It's been rising...

    She recommends I take it AGAIN on December 1st...

  3. So I recently went to the doctor for a yeast infection and while I was there I decided to take an STD test, including for herpes. The results given to me by my doctor was positive for type 2 (negative for type 1) until I asked to see the index number--which was .97 (the "gray zone"). I requested to take the same test in 2 months (IGg)

    Could the yeast infection have affected my numbers? giving me a false "positive"

    why isn't 0.97 technically negative?

    Also would it be pointless to take the same test? Should I invest in the westernblot instead?
