False Positive???

False Positive???

Back in June I was tested positive for Herpes 2.  They told me that it was a low positive but once it's positive then it's positive.  Two weeks ago I was in for an annual physical and when they tested for Herpes 2 it came back negative.  I was told the test in June was 1.12 and that a positive result was 1.09.  Has anyone ever heard of this?  Also what corse of action do you think I should take?
Thanks

Your first hsv2 result was a low positive and needed further confirmation.  Your repeat test being negative confirmed that it was a false positive. it's unlikely you have hsv2. personally I wouldn't bother doing anything else at this point.
