    Confused about test results
    HSV2 igG 2.75
    negative <0.91
    Equivocal 0.91-1.09
    positive >1.09

    Doctor says I am positive for HSV2

    Explanation beneath numbers states confusing information:

    Negative indicates no antibodies detected to HSV-2
    Equivocal may suggest early infection
    Positive indicates antibodies detected to HSV-2.

    So do I have it and if so is it saying it is a new infection or recent one? I was married for 20 years and never had any signs of infection or outbreak at any time. Been divorced for less than a year and been with one person recently so its one of two people I got it from. Just really confused

    Re: Confused about test results
    "Technically" the 2.75 indicates positve but most doctors will recommend retesting in a few months if the result is below 3.50. Did they also do any kind of culture swab along with the blood test?

    Hi truthseeker,

    From the rating would it ever be possible to determine how long the infect has been present?

    Thank you
