Good Morning, My partner of 18 years had an affair for approximately a year with a woman with hsv2. In December, I had equivocal results for hsv1 and low-positive for hsv2 (2.48). My ex had 2 negative IGG tests in January, which was over 3 months from his time of exposure. I had a follow-up IGG in May that was negative for hsv1 and 2.  In addition, I recently had a hsv2 IGG with reflex inhibition. The first assay was at 1.51, but when reflex was completed, result suggested a false positive. I have never had symptoms of hsv 2 and my ex also denies symptoms. I know the Western Blot is the gold standard, but I am wondering if the body of evidence that I currently have is enough to move forward. Wondering about my status has created a great deal of stress for me and would like to be able to close the door on this issue!  Thank you for your guidance and suggestions!

I think the body of evidence is probably adequate to indicate that you don't have HSV 2.  ---

Thank you very much. My doctor indicated this as well, but I felt as though I needed this confirmation from an expert! I appreciate that you have this service available.
