Is Equivocal Result For Herpes A Cause For Concern?
Hello I recently had STD testing done. Everything came back negative, except one instance that was equivocal for herpes. I ve researched this quite a bit and everything I ve found says not to worry. My igg test came back negative and the igm test was just outside of negative .94 equivocal. My last sexual encounter was over 5 months ago. I have kissed just one girl over the past month. It s still concerning to me though. As i understand it the igm test is basically worthless and meaningless and if I was exposed to herpes the igg test results would not have been negative.
