r/HSVfalsepositive

So I tested with CPL and had a HSV1 igg 0.8 in January.

Tested with Quest May 13th and had an HSV1 igg 8.10.

Tested again with another lab 2 days later and my igg was 0.8.

Is this a quest issue?

I see a lot of people saying that they wait x amount of weeks post possible exposure to test, asymptomatic or not. I understand that you can end up with a false negative if you were exposed and test too early. However, it is also to my understanding that HSV can remain dormant in the body initially and then suddenly activate and cause an outbreak etc etc so you don’t actually know when you got infected. As in, if you had 2 partners over the course of 5 years and you got an outbreak today, you may assume your most recent partner is whom you got it from. But in fact you may have gotten it from partner 1 and had no symptoms and started displaying symptoms once with partner 2 for whatever reason….. is that correct?
