default
Posted on Wed, 27 May 2015
Question: Hi I got a comprehensive std panel test voluntarily and am curious to know my status.
I am negative or non-reactive for all tests excpet HSV-1. The result for HSV-1 is showing an IgG value of 1.15. The last encounter I had was about 4-5 months ago. I did not touch a girl since then. Do you think I have gotten the virus? Please let me know. I am nervous.

Thanks,
doctor
