Hsv2 Test Results Shows Neg0.91 Equivocal 0.91-1.09 Pos 1.09. What Does This Mean?
Question: hsv2 test results neg0.91 equivocal 0.91-1.09 pos 1.09 what does this mean
Hi,
I am dr XXXXXXX and I will try my level best to help you.
A) HSV2 - neg (0.91) - It means any titre of below 0.91 is "negative" - for human simplex virus 2
B) HSV2 - equivocal 0.91-1.09 - it means neither positive nor negative (non conclusive result)
C) HSV2- pos-1.09 - it means any titre of above is 1.09 is "positive" for simplex.
In short
1) if titer says less then 0.91 its 100% negative for Simplex.
2) if titer says greater then 1.09 its 100% positive for simplex.
3) if titer reads between 0.91-1.09 its non conclusive may need retesting.
Hope it helps.
