I'm confused

Posted , 4 users are following.

In September my igg blood work came back as 4.5 for hv2. They said it's no way to tell how long I've had it, but up until last November I was donating blood and plasma, wouldn't something like that show up? Unfortunately for me my fiance was murdered around Christmas so I have no way to know and my current partner tested negative.

    The actual herpes virus isn’t in your blood, the antibodies are

    They don't test for herpes at blood banks, because the virus isn't blood-borne as a general rule.

    Thank you everyone
