So here’s what happened: a few days ago I went to a cheap privately owned lab where I live. Got a full checkup for everything. Including herpes.
Here are my results:
HSV 1 IgM : 0.3
HSV 2 IgM : 0.3
HSV 2 IgG: 6.2
Here’s why I think my results aren’t accurate and I would love your input on this:
1- I’m a virgin. I’ve had no sexual contact in my life ever. Never. Nothing. So how could I possibly have gotten it??
2- they only tested IgG for HSV 2 and not for HSV 1. When I asked why, they said its because its common, most people have it so no need to test for it. Is this a possible red flag that I should not trust them??
3- when I asked them what type of test they used, Was it Herpeselect? Was it an ELISA? Was it a western blot? , they said no and when I told them to elaborate they responded with a “its just an IgG test.. it has no name”. Again, should I even trust them??
4- They were incredibly cheap.. I have no idea if thats a red flag or not but thought I should put it in this list.
5- I have had NO symptoms whatsoever! Nothing! I just took the test with the full package they were offering, but I never expected to get a positive result.
Please help me. I am so confused and depressed. What do you think I should do? Can it possibly be a mistake?
