Does this look like herpes?
Posted , 3 users are following.
i've had 3 herpes Igg test 2 of came back negative but the last one came back equivocal for HSV 1. I was exposed 10/16/20 .
2 weeks later
Test 1 (10/28/20) - Igg 0.85 (negative)
3 months later
Test 2 ( 01/19/21) Igg 0.62 (negative)
5 months later
Test 3 (3/18/21) igg 0.91 (equivocal)
They said to retest in 3 months cause the high number might be due to a different virus, but my hsv 2 igg wasnt high. Idk man the dude wont even tell me which hsv he test positive for.
I also got this open sore in my butt crack. It healed in 2 maybe 3 days. I felt it after cleaning my butt. It didn't hurt.

From what i understand, igg is the better test. igm can disappear, so if you tested positive with an igg test, chances are you have hsv1. . It can show higher each test becuse your body is building antibodies. Best way to test is to have a swab done on anything down there. As far as your rash, it looks like a yeast or fungal infection. i had something similar. get some monistat 7 and use the cream on it, along with desitin. works like a charm!

@HannaB2 It wasn’t a positive test it was equivocal. Which apparently it means the results were unclear and that I would have to retest. The cut off for a negative test is 0.90 and down mine was 0.91.. They said this could be a early infection or the number could be a little high due to something else.
I guess what I really didn’t understand is that my first test was higher than my second test. Which the second test was done three months after exposure so I thought I would be in the clear. Now that I'm at the five month mark; I’m being told to wait another three months because my results came back unclear.

if you have a sore, have them test that
supposedly it is more accurate
igm is for new infection
igg is older
both test from im reading can be unreliable
hsv 1 oral
hsv 2 genital
