Can someone test negative for HSV1 with a blood test but still have it?


Recommended Posts

Yes. Very much so. Igg will miss almost 30% of HSV1.

 

Since you haven't specified which blood test you're talking about, even with that 30% it's still the best out there. Make sure that all tests were igg and not igm (that said, a combination of negative igg + positive igm would really strongly suggest recent infection)

Just curious, do you know why HSV-1 is missed so much? Maybe because people have it for a long time being first infected as children, and then antibodies wane over time??
