I got a fren who got GH but only the first 6 mths... thereafter it seems to have died off ie for past 8 mths NO recurrence. Is it possible?

Of course it's possible. Some people have never suffered from an outbreak even though they're infected.

However, the fact remains that the virus is there for life.

In fact, if you've ever had chickenpox, you're already infected with herpes zoster and the virus remains even after all the lesions have healed. It often surfaces again in later life as shingles when the immune system is compromised.

my last outbreak was during Sept. 2010. Till now, I don't experience any outbreak. The virus will forever be inside you. Just when your immune is
low, old friend pops out to say hello hahaha...

Dear Bros,

I have queries about my recent blood test.

HSV 1 Ab IgG (herpes simplex type 1) 0.2 [Negative <= 0.9]
HSV 2 Ab IgG (herpes simplex type 1) 0.4 [Negative <= 0.9]

Since, I have negative results for both (HSV1 & 2), is this still normal for anybody who is healthy without HSV 1 & 2?

The reason I ask is because, I have taken similar test before and it showed "0.0" for HSV 1 & 2. Now, it became 0.2 and 0.4 for HSV 1 and 2 respectively! I am puzzled and confused.

Can helpful bros kindly explain?

Thank you very much.

u dont have to worry unless it goes above 0.9.. anything below 0.9 means u are ok....
if it hits 1.10 or higher than it is confirm that you have contacted herpes..
anything btw 0.9-1.10 means anitbodies are detect in the test and you are highly to have it and you should go get a check again..

i dont understand what do u mean when u ask " is this still normal for anybody who is healthy without HSV 1 & 2?"

google it.. i found this
http://www.aruplab.com/guides/ug/tests/0050916.jsp

Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 and/or 2 Antibodies, IgG 0.89 IV or less: Negative - No significant level of detectable HSV IgG antibody.
0.90-1.09 IV: Equivocal - Questionable presence of IgG antibodies. Repeat testing in 10-14 days may be helpful.
1.10 IV or greater: Positive - IgG antibody to HSV detected which may indicate a current or past HSV infection.

Thank you Bro Big Sexy for solving my queries.

It is getting more interesting. Supposedly, if one contacted herpes, it should show positive (>1.1). And it is going to remain positive for the rest of his/her right?

What I meant was, for a super healthy person who does not have sex, will there always be some negative reactivity indexes (e.g. 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8)?

[Big Sexy]

if you have the herpes virus.. it is for life and no matter when you test it.. the result will be positive..

still not sure what you mean with the other question....but you dont need to have sexual intercourse to contact herpes..so long there is skin to skin contact, there is a chance she might get it....also so long the reading is below 0.9.. u could safely say that she doesnt have it..

Let me phrase it simple. (<0.9 is negetive)

I wonder if a healthy person will he/she gets 0.0 or below 0.9? Is it possible for a newborn baby (let say mother is 0.1) going to have 0.0?

Or any human being will definitely have more than 0.0 (even though s/he is negative)?
