I Just Got A Full Panel Testing And The Results
Brief Answer:
Biokit or Western Blot to confirm this low "positive" test.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome,
It may be that you had HSV 2 in the past and cleared it.
It is not uncommon for the symptoms of HSV 2 to go unnoticed. Some people have no symptoms at all.
According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control): "The most commonly used test, HerpeSelect HSV-2 Elisa might be falsely positive at low index values (1.1–3.5). Such low values should be confirmed with another test such as Biokit or the Western Blot."
I hope this information helps. Please let me know if I can provide further information or clarification.
