What Does My HVS 1 Test Result Indicate?
Question: my hvs 1 test came back positive but abnormal 5.00
Brief Answer:
Abnormal result is printed in the result when HSV is seen (i.e. positive)
Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.
Thank you for writing to us.
I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. I am guessing you went ahead with HSV-1 IgG testing, if so then anything about 1.1 is considered a positive result. Abnormal results are stated only when HSV is seen. You can choose to repeat the test to confirm/raise doubt for the previous test result sir.
I hope you find my response helpful. Please do not hesitate to write back to me for any further clarifications, I would be more than happy to help.
Best wishes.
