So I got blood tested again for herpes 1/2 got my

Result yesterday but ratio number for herpes 1 was

0.379         <0.9

Which is negative because it was in range

And my herpes 2 is

<0.1.          <0.9

 Which is also negative but I got my blood tested 3 months ago for herpes both 1/2 which was also negative but my ratio number for herpes 1 was

0.0100         <0.9 

I’m confused both herpes 1 is negative but why did my ratio increased I’m not good in math does it mean that the virus is going to come to my body ? Cuz it scared me to see it increase to 0.379 which is still negative but isn’t that number larger den <0.9 I am so confused someone please help I’m not good in math at all but I jsr want to know even tho big time came negative why did the ratio number increase for herpes 1 this month ? Could that mean I’m getting the virus ?

    Could just be the Lab it was sent to, all of them are a little defferent, I wouldn't worry.

      Yes I'm sure all labs are not the same, they can still send it to another lab even if its the same place.

      There is nothing you can do, most people have kinda flu like symptoms before they break out aches and pains, once you break out Valtrex will make it heal faster, lots of people have this, it is something you can live with stress will make it come on, it lives in the nerves till something triggers it. you can also suppression  therapy, taken once a day.
