I don't think I have herpes, what do you think?


Recommended Posts

In early 2013 I tested positive for herpes, in late 2013 I tested negative and again in 2014, negative. About a week ago I got a phone call saying I tested positive. All tests were blood tests (IgG) and I've never had an outbreak not even under extreme stress. What is going on?

From my personal experience I would say no.

 

48 hours after my exposure I had flu like symptoms, sore throat, swollen lymph nodes and lesions from hell.

 

I'm no expert by any means, they say 80% of people never experience a breakout. From reading your post I would conclude that you don't have it.

 

Lucky bastard.

Do you remember which type (1 or 2) tested positive and what the index values were? Sometimes a very low index value is indeed a false positive. On the other hand, the IgG misses a significant number of HSV1 cases, so that’s another possible explanation. I’d round up copies of your lab results for a closer look.

Every time I was tested for HSV2 and I don't remember the index values but of course after they originally told me I had it I went crazy and did my research and apparently the IgG test doesn't actually look for the virus it looks for antibodies that attack the virus, I researched someone and something as simple as allergies or an infection can raise antibody numbers. When I went to the doctor not only did I have a sinus infection but I had a yeast infection as well, could that possibly be the culprit?
