False positive on HSV2?
I went for my first pap/exam and they offered a std blood test and I said why not even though I was certain it would all come back negative. Much to my surprise it came back positive for HSV 1 and HSV 2. Im wondering if this could be a false positive and what I should do. I have only ever had sex with one man and he has only ever had sex with me and we've always used a condom not during foreplay tho. I'm 25, he's 28. The furthest he went with someone before me was he got a ** from his ex. I've never had a break out, I've never even had a cold sore. I told him immediately about this and he is just as baffled as me. Now I know that its not the end of the world if its true but it doesn't make any sense to me. I was reading about false positives and wondered if anyone else has experienced this. I've had the chicken pox and mono which became a reactive virus literally at least a dozen times. I read that chicken pox and mono are both herpes virus. Is it possible since I've had mono, chicken pox and hsv1 that the hsv2 is false positive? My boyfriend is going to get tested tomorrow but this is driving me crazy
So my boyfriend got tested and his was negative. He’s clean. How could this be? We’ve been fooling around for 2 years
What test was it? What were the values?

I’m not sure what kind of test it was but it was some kind of blood test. I’m picking up a copy of the test today to see the values be.
They did a hsv 1 and hsv 2 test and the values were 55.60 for hsv1 and hsv2 was 1.12
