Should I retake the herpes tests?
I took the STD tests on last October. I need to understand the test results better. For HSV-1 which it shows my IgG is 0.96 IV while HSV-2 which it shows that I have no IgG antibodies which it's 0.25 IV along all negative with other STD tests as well.
For 0.96 IV considering as an equivocal which I'm understanding that it's a negative since it's below 1.10 (for anything over 1.10 is considered positive). My doctor said that it's partly of cold sores. I never had one while I was growing up. My doctor told me that I have a virus that may be sleeping which I may not know that I'm the carrier of it. Should I retake the HSV-1 test only or can take both HSV 1 and 2 since last time I had taken was on last October?
Answer
Unless you have an active outbreak I cant see any reason why you can't accept the negative herpes test results. I would trust you're clean. No need to retake the tests no.
