Confused !!!!!

Ok so the 3rd day of October I had sex with a friend after partying! I was tested the 3rd week of October and was told I have herpes my numbers were HSV1 .. And HSV2 1.16. Which was very low. I tested the 2nd week in december and they came back HSV1 .90 and HSV2 .94. Oh and I had my friend to get tested and he came back negative.  So I'm telling my doctor everything that is going on and how could this be possible? She gives me a blank stare and say she'll be rifht back. So I hear her in the hall talking to another doctor asking him about it and he yells "she had treatment!" At this point I'm pissed because I haven't been taking anything nor have they given me anything. She comes back in the room still with a blank stare and say "even though its on the equivocal now you still have it and there isn't anything we can do but retest in April. Sorry! "

I've been told if my numbers go down most likely its a false positive. Also how the heck I have herpes and he doesn't have it!?

P.S I haven't had any symptoms

Are you in North Korea??!  

Go get tested on your own... pay if you must.  You need not receive anyone's permission in order to test.  No way in hell I would wait 3 more months were I in your shoes

Thanks for your answer! I was thinking the samething because they were clearly lost and from my knowledge their isn't a cure for herpes sooo how could that effect the numbers????? I've been told the numbers goes up! But I'm just as clueless too. However, I will be retesting with them in April... I'm just wondering sure I go somewhere else.

Hi, they dont seem to know much about herpes. It appears your fist positive test was a combined which is not of any use. The second shows your negative for both. I you tested 2 months post exposure and your negative, there are really good chances your are in fact negative. Do retest at the 3 months mark.
