Do the antibody levels mean anything specifically?


Recommended Posts

I tested positive for both culture and blood draw. My results for the igg blood test were noted as high positive for hsv2 at 7.49 levels. This alarmed me that is is being stated as high and I also did some googling an apparently this may mean it’s chronic. Does this mean I have had it for a very long time and is it necessarily a “bad” thing or something to be worried about? What exactly do the levels represent?

Think of it less like a continuum from low to high and more like a yes/no to having herpes or not. More or less antibodies don't mean more or less herpes.
