False Positive Test
by pennh, Dec 23, 2008 12:28AM
I am dating a girl that has hsv-1 and hsv-2 Herpes. I am either really brave or really stupid. I am paranoid that I am going to contract the virus. I have been getting tested every two months. I was tested mid oct. and negative for both. I was tested again in December, as I needed to for piece of mind (I have not had any symptoms or bumps, etc). The test did come back negative for HSV-2 but postive for hsv-1. I am waiting on the paperwork to see what my #'s are. Could this be a false positive? I had the test done at planned parenthood. Do they use a reliable test? It seems like the type specific igg test is the way to go. Please confirm.
Thanks,
