Female positive hsv culture(not type specific), negative igg blood test?

Blood tests for provide less accurate results, as viral loads can fluctuate. It's more accurate to swab an active lesion or outbreak for the virus. If you've had a previous outbreak, then you have the virus. The virus will always be in your system, and outbreaks can be triggered by several things such as stress or pregnancy. Anti-virals can be prescribed to you to keep the virus more controlled and keep outbreaks less frequent.
