No HSV-2 antibodies found. You are negative for genital herpes type 2.
Your blood contains no IgG antibodies to HSV-2, meaning you have not been previously infected with the genital herpes virus.
Good result. HSV-2 is very common but preventable with barrier contraception.
HSV-2 IgG: {{value}} — negative (no prior infection)No HSV-2 antibodies were found in your blood, confirming no prior HSV-2 infection.
No action needed.
HSV-2 IgG: {{value}} — negativeYour HSV-2 antibody level is negative. Very low values in the 0.5–0.9 range can occasionally be equivocal.
No action needed. If between 0.5–0.9 and you have symptoms, discuss confirmatory testing with your doctor.
HSV-2 IgG: {{value}} — negative (very low level)No HSV-2 antibodies found. You are negative for genital herpes type 2.
No action needed.
HSV-2 IgG: {{value}} — negativeYour test conclusively shows no prior HSV-2 infection.
Continue safe sex practices.
HSV-2 IgG: {{value}} — negativeAn equivocal result in the 0.9–1.1 range is inconclusive. This can be a true early positive, a false positive, or technical variation. Index values below 3.5 have a higher false positive rate.
Confirmatory testing with Western blot is recommended before making any decisions. Discuss with your doctor.
HSV-2 IgG: {{value}} — equivocal (0.9–1.1 range)HSV-2 antibodies mean you've been infected with genital herpes at some point. Many people carry HSV-2 without knowing — it can be completely asymptomatic. Once infected, the virus stays dormant in your nervous system and may cause occasional outbreaks.
This is very manageable. Antiviral therapy (valacyclovir/acyclovir) can suppress outbreaks and reduce transmission risk. Discuss with your doctor and disclose to sexual partners.
HSV-2 IgG: {{value}} — positive (past HSV-2 infection)A high IgG index confirms established HSV-2 infection. This antibody level reflects your immune system's response to the virus. The virus will remain in your body permanently but is very manageable with treatment.
Discuss daily suppressive antiviral therapy with your doctor to reduce outbreaks and transmission. Regular sexual health monitoring is recommended.
