Yes I was tested positive for HSV 2 approximately 2 years ago. I didn t date for 12 years. The person I have been seeing for nearly 4 years is negative. I m humiliated and disgusted. What does a 13.50 result mean and what does a less than .90 mean? I think I have the numbers correct. Thank you.
HelloWelcome to Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. Herpes simplex virus 2 infection is genital herpes infection.HSV-2 is transmitted through -sex-direct contact with genital skin, sores or fluids of person infected with the virus It can be also transferred even when lesions are not there. The numbers you mentioned are the antibody titles. Different laboratories have different ranges for antibodies. Also depends on which samples were taken for testing. You need to discuss it with your treating physician. If I were your treating doctor, I would recommend,-A course of antivirals like acyclovir /val acyclovir for 10 days for reducing severity of infection.(prescription Chat Doctor. -Avoid sharing of things like clothing, towels,razors.-Avoid direct touching of sores if present. Hope this information helps. Feel free to ask any more query if you have.
