why did you test in the first place? routine yearly or symptoms?
evidently your provider wasn't aware of how to interpret the results. glad you sought out the 2nd opinion!
thanks for the comments.
I had a routine std test done. The doctor looked at those results and told me i had hsv2. Since then i got a 2nd opinion and found i was negative.

Please wait for grace to comment on the testing. Though I will tell you the first 2 tests were worthless and a waste of time and money. The IgM is worthless as it cross reacts with different things and the combined igg test can be false positive sometimes.
