What does it mean to have an HSV test show negative .90 and positive 1.0 on both the HSV 1 and 2.?

Sounds like you have type 1 & 2 herpes - otherwise known as oral & genital herpes.  When you have an outbreak (blisters, etc) then you "shed" the virus - if they do a swab they'll be able to find the virus.  Otherwise, the blood (antibody) test shows that you have the viruses but not for how long.  I hope the folks who did the testing also talked to you about treating it - you can get medicine that can help cut down on the number and severity of outbreaks you have, although nothing's gonna cure it.

Whoever has the more mature immune system against it. If you JUST got it, you'll have lower antibody levels. If he JUST got it, he'll have fewer antibodies. Unfortunately if you've had it for awhile and contracted it from him, it's very possible you both have mature immune systems against it.\n\nWeren't you both screened for STD's pre-marriage? As far as I know, Nevada is the only state that does not require STD screening before a marriage certificate is issued.\n\n People with genital herpes are known to take this way out, rather than being honest with their partners.. Saying their partner gave it to them, not the other way around. As he's very understanding about it, this is exactly what I suspect. If it were ME, I'd be in a horrible rage to have contracted this from someone I loved and trusted.\n\n----\n\nEdit - What are the actual antibody levels for you and your husband. If you could post that up I could give you an estimate on who may have had it longer, but that is no gaurentee. What doctors say when they're discussing an "initial" outbreak, is it's the first outbreak you've gone to that doctor for and you think it's your first outbreak.\n\nJudging by his reaction, I honestly think he had it and knew, as of right now.

You could do the Herpes Virus, there's Herpes Simplex I and Herpes Simplex II.  You could find pictures too.  It is a very common virus.

You're probably just being a little hypochondriac...if you've had two neg tests, you shouldn't worry about it.

depends on the test, blood tests usually cover syphilis and hiv, and swabs are usually gonoreaha, chlamydia, trichomonas. i might be wrong though.\n\nHPV (genital warts) isnt tested, and I dont think herpes is either but i might be wrong on that (but youd know you have it by symptoms)

Heads up for ya all. HSV and HPV can be asymptomatic, meaning that the person shows no physical signs i.e. blisters,scabs,rough bumps and irritation. They can be a cirrier if the virus. \nCondoms as we all know are not 100% either. \nBefore becoming sexually active with someone go and get a STD screening done together. Remember that HSV and HPV are seperate tests. Hsv=blood test and HPV=pap smear for woman, there is no real way to test for HPV on men unless there are visible warts on the penis,testes,buttocks or inner theighs.

Well low chance... but there is no way to tell for sure that they are 100% negative... I mean they could have been with someone last week that was + went this week and took the test, however the HIV is not going to show up on that test for 3-6 months... Meaning that there is a possability that you could contrat the Viruse... Never be to safe... Oral sex is a low risk, but still use your head... Takes a couple min's to be safe, don't burdin your self with the matter of haveing to take medications the rest of your life or something to that nature... \n\nTrust me, when i say this... It's much easier just useing a condom, or not swallowing,...\n\nGood luck\n\nBelow are a couple good websites for information about this...\n\nHttp://www.cdc.gov/hiv\nhttp://www.thebody.com

I'm so sorry to even have the knowledge to tell you this. I contracted HSV from a boyfriend of a year after he had unprotected sex with some slut in Atlanta and then crawled into my bed. Now I am in new relationship with a man I've known for nearly two years. I will have to tell him about herpes too. After herpes, everything in my life changed, but it wasn't the disease that hurts the most -it's the stigma, hurt, and the inability to trust someone else. After the first outbreak it's pretty much smooth sailing except all those old feelings are brought up with every new outbreak. Three years ago, I had a relationship with a man who admitted after we had dated and had sex for nine months that he had herpes. At first, I was okay with it until I realized that he lied to me. He lied by not saying anything. He made the decision that I wasn't a person enough to decide whether I wanted herpes in my life. Then I wondered, "What other decisions is he making for me?" That was scary. Then Mr. I'm Getting Kicks in Atlanta took my ability to choose. He decided that it would be easier to not tell me that there was another person in our bed than to tell me the truth. Someone has already taken your ability to choose, but you and I have no right to do that to someone else. You don't want to go into your new relationship and have someone feel that way about you. Approximately 1 in 4 people have genital herpes and really it's no big deal. The stigma is the thing that ruins people's lives. If it didn't exist than there might be better relationships. I will be telling my next partner within as soon as sex comes up. Tell him in a relaxed setting (clothes on) and really talk to him. Tell him before you've had any sexual contact. It's okay if he's weirded out by it. Tell him, "I know what it feels like not to be valued as person because someone did that to me. I care for you and I want there to be no secrets between us. I have herpes." Give him an envelope filled with reading material so that he can see for himself. Then quickly tell him what herpes means, i.e. a noncurable skin condition. Try to be as positive as possible, he is going to look for cues from you to understand how to feel. Personally, I won't be choosing another sex partner now before marriage. I know this makes this harder, but I consider this a huge warning to not trust "Goodtime Charlie" with a go-round with my body. It's worth more than that.

HSV1 (HHV1) and HSV2 (HHV2) are neurotrophic alpha-herpesviruses that only naturally occur in humans. There are no animal reservoirs. \nHSV1 and HSV2 are of direct relevance to the practice of dentistry as: \nAppropriate Cross Infection practices will prevent unnecessary spread of HSV infections in the dental surgery. \nThe dentist is usually the first health care professional to be consulted when a patient has symptomatic oro-facial HSV infection: \nPrimary Herpetic Gingivostomatitis. \nReactivation lesions: \nCold Sores. \nReactivation of oral HSV. \nIt is essential that you are confident in the diagnosis and management of HSV infections: \nIncluding appropriate use of drugs included in the Dental Practitioners Formulary

There is a blood test for herpes simplex antibodies which will tell you if you have been exposed to the virus. Generally it is not tested for in pregnancy, unless you ask. All tests done need to be done with your permission, so it is not likely tests will be done and you not know. Every area has different requirements for STI testing in pregnancy, some places test routinely for HIV, most test for syphilis. If you feel you are at risk, discuss it with your caregiver, who will be able to assist you in determining what if any tests should be done.\n\nGood Luck.

see a dr - could be the onset of a cold sore - the dr would be able to diagnose - b careful because they sometimes misdiagnose

Yes, a blood sugar reading of 92 is great, but that does not mean that your daughter is not diabetic. In order to determine this for sure, consult with your doctor and have an A1c test done on your daughter. As a type 2, you know that the A1c test will give you an average for about 120 days. This will help determine whether or not your daughter's levels are running high consistently or if the 92 that you got on your own was an indicator of normal blood sugar levels. \nOther blood test will also help determine whether or not she is diabetic. \n\nWhile decreased healing is one symptom of diabetes, it could also be the symptom of something else... infection, etc. If the sores are there longer than they should be, then get them checked out by a doctor ASAP to avoid serious complications (infection, scarring, etc.). \n\nGood luck and best wishes...

I would assume that one of your .01s in column A is something like 0.012.\n\nChange your number  format to General and see what happens.

Cold sores are caused by Herpes simplex type I. When your incfected, the virus "hides" in the nervous system between outbreaks. \nHSV1 is extremely prevalent (very easy to pass on, quite innocently, just by an injudicious kiss to a baby). Most everybody (up to 90% of the population) has antibodies against HSV1 by the time they're 50.\nNow about transmission: It mostly happens when you have a blister/blisters going, through direct skin-to-skin contact, but indirect transmission thorugh secondary contact through a glass, cup etc. is possible. Unfortunately, the virus can sometimes spread , when no signs or symptoms are present. This is called "Asymptomatic Transmission." Often people don't know they are infected, these people may have symptoms so mild they don't notice them at all or else don't recognize them as herpes. They can also spread it. \nConsidering how common HSV1 is, your mum might have picked it up kissing a  baby somewhere, kissing a grandchild or a friend. To automatically assume there is cheating involved is not right. I was infected as a small child, by one of my parents, quite unknowingly. Your father might have a extremely mild infection, that flares up once every 10 years. There are a lot of explanations for your mums infection other than cheating. Please tell your mum that. \nAs far getting genital herpes is concerned, while HSV1 does NOT turn into HSV2, it can start genital herpes if the virus from a cold sore gets in touch with the genitals.\n\nFinally, another word - contrary to what a lot of people say, it is not a horrible disease like siphylis or whatnot. I have had it since I can remember and it never caused any problems. IT WILL NOT DEBILITATE HER OR MAKE HER LIFE HARD. \nI wish you all the best and please, try to calm your mum down.

Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by the herpes simplex viruses type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HSV-2). Most genital herpes is caused by HSV-2. Most individuals have no or only minimal signs or symptoms from HSV-1 or HSV-2 infection. When signs do occur, they typically appear as one or more blisters on or around the genitals or rectum. The blisters break, leaving tender ulcers (sores) that may take two to four weeks to heal the first time they occur. Typically, another outbreak can appear weeks or months after the first, but it almost always is less severe and shorter than the first outbreak. Although the infection can stay in the body indefinitely, the number of outbreaks tends to decrease over a period of years. \n\n\n\nResults of a nationally representative study show that genital herpes infection is common in the United States. Nationwide, at least 45 million people ages 12 and older, or one out of five adolescents and adults, have had genital HSV infection. Between the late 1970s and the early 1990s, the number of Americans with genital herpes infection increased 30 percent. \n\nGenital HSV-2 infection is more common in women (approximately one out of four women) than in men (almost one out of five). This may be due to male-to-female transmissions being more likely than female-to-male transmission. \n\n\n\nHSV-1 and HSV-2 can be found in and released from the sores that the viruses cause, but they also are released between outbreaks from skin that does not appear to be broken or to have a sore. Generally, a person can only get HSV-2 infection during sexual contact with someone who has a genital HSV-2 infection. Transmission can occur from an infected partner who does not have a visible sore and may not know that he or she is infected. \n\nHSV-1 can cause genital herpes, but it more commonly causes infections of the mouth and lips, so-called "fever blisters." HSV-1 infection of the genitals can be caused by oral-genital or genital-genital contact with a person who has HSV-1 infection. Genital HSV-1 outbreaks recur less regularly than genital HSV-2 outbreaks.\n\n\n\nMost people infected with HSV-2 are not aware of their infection. However, if signs and symptoms occur during the first outbreak, they can be quite pronounced. The first outbreak usually occurs within two weeks after the virus is transmitted, and the sores typically heal within two to four weeks. Other signs and symptoms during the primary episode may include a second crop of sores, and flu-like symptoms, including fever and swollen glands. However, most individuals with HSV-2 infection may never have sores, or they may have very mild signs that they do not even notice or that they mistake for insect bites or another skin condition.\n\nMost people diagnosed with a first episode of genital herpes can expect to have several (typically four or five) outbreaks (symptomatic recurrences) within a year. Over time these recurrences usually decrease in frequency.\n\n\n\nGenital herpes can cause recurrent painful genital sores in many adults, and herpes infection can be severe in people with suppressed immune systems. Regardless of severity of symptoms, genital herpes frequently causes psychological distress in people who know they are infected. \n\nIn addition, genital HSV can cause potentially fatal infections in babies. It is important that women avoid contracting herpes during pregnancy because a first episode during pregnancy causes a greater risk of transmission to the baby. If a woman has active genital herpes at delivery, a cesarean delivery is usually performed. Fortunately, infection of a baby from a woman with herpes infection is rare. \n\nHerpes may play a role in the spread of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. Herpes can make people more susceptible to HIV infection, and it can make HIV-infected individuals more infectious
