Hello- An equivocal HSV test means that the antibody test did not produce a clear positive or negative result. It means that the test is not conclusive and you have to repeat the test after some time for correct results. HSV is curable but only by Ayurveda treatment. Modern medicines can reduce the viral load but it can lead to recurrence in future.
