Reference Interval:

Test Number	Components	Reference Interval
	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.

Repeat testing in 10-14 days may be helpful. 1.11 IV or greater: Positive - IgG antibody to HSV type 1 glycoprotein G detected, which may indicate a current or past HSV infection.
0050294	Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2 Glycoprotein G-Specific Antibody, IgG by ELISA (HerpeSelect®)	0.89 IV or less: Negative - No significant level of detectable IgG antibody to HSV type 2 glycoprotein G. 0.90-1.10 IV: Equivocal - Questionable presence of IgG antibody to HSV type 2. Repeat testing in 10-14 days may be helpful. 1.11 IV or greater: Positive - IgG antibody to HSV type 2 glycoprotein G detected, which may indicate a current or past HSV infection.
