HSV2 test results
Long story short-
IGM index value 0.8 (negative)
IGG index value 3.4 (positive)
2 weeks later
PCR test negative
IGM index value 0.7 (negative)
IGG index value 3.6 (positive)
My question is, DO I HAVE HERPES TYPE 2 or not. I've seen 4 doctors and each person told me something a little different. All of them said I should have never taken the test because I've never had symptoms or outbreaks.
Please help. Should I get the western blot test???
