Hi, I'm new here and was wondering if anyone can help me interpret my test results. I recently got test a week ago for HSV 1 and HSV 2 along with a list of others. I was most concerned about HSV 2 since I felt itching, tingle, and gotten 2 bumps in my private area in the past 6 months. Anyways I got my test results back and it didn't say whether it was negative or positive it just said my IgG was less than .10 it was specifically written like " IgG<0.10" it was for both HSV 1 and HSV 2. 

Does anyone knows if there is scale or what does mean?

That is a clear negative under any HSV test. For most tests in US labs, the index for a positive is greater than 1.1.

That means you are clear of the virus up until a few weeks ago. Did you have an exposure or symptoms that concerned you and when?

Yes, I was concerned about being exposed to HSV 2 from ex boyfriend  6 months ago. I haven't had any sexual encounters since then. However I had a lot of the symptoms early on. Such as itching, tingling, mid thigh pain, discharge, and I have gotten a few bumps. Went to the Doctor a week after the symptoms was getting worse to deal with. During that time they said it didn't look like herpes but a yeast infection, but they ran STD check and I came back positive for Chlamydia. Got the medicine and the symptoms went away.

 I went to the Doctor a week ago as soon as I thought I was having another outbreak HSV 2. However my Doctor said the bump was little bit too small to get good culture from, so doing a blood test would be more accurate.

Hi Lexus! It sounds to me that it is negative. You have also been experiencing this for 6 months so you should be able to see if you are positive at this time in your results. HSV can mimic many things for females (lucky us I know). I would be tested for other infections to rule out everything. Also you can get a Western Blot test (very accurate blood test) if you need further confirmation.

Good luck! Much love,

Kate

      Czy to opryszczka?

      By WilsoInAus · Posted

      Hey @Zrozpaczona9 that looks like folliculitis to me, that’s independent of the question of herpes. The doctor is wrong in the sense that a negative IgG test is beyond reasonable doubt that you do not have herpes. It is a small percentage of people for which a false negative occurs. The doctor is right to take a swab to increase your confidence that there’s no herpes present. I’m sure you’ll have your result soon.

      Czy to opryszczka?

      By Zrozpaczona9 · Posted

      Hey @WilsoInAus miałam dzisiaj wizytę u dermatologa, gdyż dostałam zmian w pachwinie, w trakcie wakacji nad morzem. Udałam sie tam ze zmianami w postaci strupów. Powiedział ze nie można wykluczyć opryszczki mimo negatywnego wyniku Hsv igg i zalecił wymaz z pochwy na Hsv i inne choroby. Wytłumaczyłam mu że zmiany zamieniają się w strup, ale nie ma w nich płynu, więc zalecił badanie śluzu pochwy na hsv PCR, zastanawiam się czy ma to sens, i czy wirusa można wykryć na podstawie tego badania w wydzielin z szyjki macicy. Z góry dziekuje za pomoc
