After speaking with the nurse she interpreted my results to mean I had infection in the past, not now.
They tested for EBV ab IGG and
EBV ab IGM and EBV NA.
Only positive for IGG, indicating the infection was in the past. However they cannot tell how recent it was.
Not tested for EBV ab EAD, at least it did not show this on the report to be the same as IGG. The antibodies for EBV are very complicated.

Yes, EBV antibodies are complicated! The information I am getting is that the test I mentioned, EBV-EA(Early Antigen) IGG test is the true indicator of current viral replication going on (or very recently). It is very hard to find a physician who knows anything about this. I am searching...
I very much want to try Valtrex but just getting an appt. with a provider who will prescribe that for me is becoming quite the challenge!
