Help with Toxoplasmosis test results

Hello, can anyone help me understand my blood test results? I went to a clinic that basically just does the test without any consultation and although I understand I do not have a current or recent infection, can anyone tell me what the IgG result indicates? I thought if I was not immune it would state 'negative' for IgG or if I had immunity would state 'positive' for IgG? Can there be just a small amount of antibodies?! Anyone who has had the test or understands all things science-y better than me - I'd love to hear from you! Results below. Many thanks!

Toxoplasma IgG abs: 0.10 IU/ml (Equivocal 1.6 - 3.0)

Toxoplasma IgM ab : Negative

From my understanding you may have a very low level of antibodies that wouldn't be enough to create immunity. So you would need a minimum level of the antibodies in your blood to provide full protection, so while you have a very small amount, it's not enough for immunity

Thank you! Yes that’s what I thought. So presume I don’t have a current infection but am not immune? Many thanks!

PowerO can I ask where you went to get the test done? I haven’t been able to find anywhere that does it!

Sure! I paid for it to be don’t privately - just googled it and found somewhere near me. Where are you based?
