HSV II false positive??

HSV II false positive??

My boyfriend and I had done STD's exams and all came out negative except HSV II Ig G. Mine came out as 0.96 ( equivocal) and my boyfriend's result was 1.16.  He hasn't had any symptoms and only had one sexual partner previously ( 2 years ago).  What is the probability that we might have herpes II???  How accurate and precised is this test??  Could this results be false positives??? How often false positives occur?? What should we do??

Your bf has a false positive most likely.  I wouldn't even bother retesting for either of you. Equivocal is negative as long as you've waited at least 3 months since the last time you had sex with a different partner.
