I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. An index value above 1.1 is considered positive, but some experts regard values less than 3.5 as ?low positive? and recommend a confirmatory test such as the hsv western blot, long considered the gold standard with regards to accuracy and consistency of results. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
