I was having fever, fatigue, headache, swelling in the lympnodes and pimples on my penius and muscle pain and nerves and sometimes pain in the head not headache but pain little bit from time to time  i was going to doctors and giving me medications and not getting any better and asking them and they tell me you have some infection and that's it


so i remember i had sex so i got worried i wrote on internet lympnodes swelling and the results was many some of them HIV and Chlamdiya and sypillis and i made those tests and they came negative ... and i don't know the HSV.

till i visited the 6th new doctor and i asked him what is it he said some infection and he gave zovirax i guess and i search on it on internet and it was hsv infection so i asked my gf to do ... the results was as it is up there and me not yet do but i think if she have i will have too !!


so should i get tested again along with hsv the hiv and sypillis while i have got tested after six month for hiv and 4 month for sypillis after exposure so should i again

while my girlfriend toke hiv test was negative too

All separate diseases.  

All require separate tests.

Do you have any symptoms?  What is your reasoning for all of this testing?

Take both HSV1 and HSV2 IgG tests.  

Don't waste your time with IgMs.  Lots of false positives there.  And some false negatives also.

And honestly, waiting 4 months after last sex with this person will give you the best indication of whether or not you have it from her.  If you have never tested before, you really need to.  Its frustrating, but most STD panels don't include HSV tests - as yours above clearly didn't.

I'm sticking with my earlier suggestion earlier, retest.  

A positive, with no negative test to counter it, is still positive and the person who belongs to these results should proceed as though he/she were HSV2 positive until new tests show otherwise.

Have you ever tested positive?  Have you tested at all?

We are looking at the results of a woman you had sex with in November (and not since November) correct?

It's worth saying this - now that I know it's been 8 months since you last had sex with her:  Because there are not pre-existing HSV1 antibodies, a positive HSV2 would be expected to be at least a little bit higher than 1.74 after all of that time.  

Where are YOUR results?

If your last sex was 9 months back having a low positive would infer a false positive. Retest now with the western blot or any igg to confirm.

She's positive for HSV2.  Assuming that second "HSV1" is supposed to read "HSV2".

It's a low positive, so you should have her test again to confirm.  Depending on how long ago she could have acquired it (if it's been longer than 6 months) she should have the Western Blot test.
