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.

Hi sir.

The most common one used is acyclovir, but you can also get any of the following:

+Famciclovir
+Valacyclovir

You can approach any medical store or pharmacy and request for either of these. Write to me when you get your hands on any one of these and I shall help you with the dosage.
