Hi,
I am wondering if my recent positive test for Genital Herpes 2, can be positive if I had Chicken Pox as a child? In other words is there a chance that the HSV test could be incorrect? If there is a possibility, is there another test that I can do that would offer me deffinitive proof either way? I also tested positive for HSV 1. I was tested Oct 22,09 and I found out from my Dr. on Oct 27,09.
My husband has HSV 1 Oral Herpes and he says he's had it for years. Is it possible to contract HSV 2 Genital Herpes from someone who has HSV 1 Oral Herpes?
