Hello doctor, I had a STD panel done HSV 1 greater than 62.2 and HSV 2, have a history of chicken pox.
Hello. I understand from the reports you have sent me that stating HSV 1 serology is positive (attachment removed to protect patient identity). I will need a bit more information before I can advise you how to proceed further. A. Is this HSV 1 IgG or IgM serology? B. Do you have a history of recurrent oral or genital painful vesicles or ulcers? C. If yes, how many episodes and how frequently do you have those episodes? If only the serology of HSV 1 is positive without any clinical symptoms before, you do not require any treatment as it can happen in any past clinical or subclinical herpes infection. HSV 1 serology has no relation with varicella (chicken pox). They are caused by different viruses. HSV 1 serology. No active intervention is required for now.
