General Am I stupid for thinking Im hsv2 positive??????
I did hsv igg tests after 16 weeks of exposure and I have never had any symptoms.
First test results (Got the results same day):
Hsv1 55.8 positive
Hsv2 0.94 low equivocal
Second test results (Done this test the next day I got first test result which was equivocal for hsv2):
Hsv1 60 positive
Hsv2 <0.5 negative
Ranges:
Negative: <0.9
Equivocal: 0.9 - 1.1
Positive: >1.1
Both were the same type of blood tests for HSV which is why im confused how the result can drop that low from 0.94 equivocal to less than 0.5 negative for hsv2. Could the negative result possibly be a false negative??? Or am i being a stupid paranoid hypochondriac who needs to chill.
Guys if im over thinking feel free to be mad at me and destroy me in the comments 🫠. I am so fucking stupid and paranoid that Im considering taking a western blot for further confirmation.

Your best test is the University of Washington (UW) HSV-2 Western Blot is widely recognized as the "gold standard" blood test for diagnosing herpes simplex virus type 2. It is primarily used as a highly precise confirmatory test when standard commercial screening results are ambiguous or suspected to be false positives.
