Low positive HSV2 results, in combination with HSV1
Recently had a herpes blood test done and tested positive for both HSV1 (7.0)and HSV2 (2.0). I have had cold sores in the past so knew I would test positive for HSV1. However, I have never had unprotected sex
in my life and was surprised by my HSV2 results. Is it possible that this is a false positive? Could my HSV1 results be skewing the HSV2 numbers? Please help!
I just wanted to follow up by saying that I just got an immunoblot test and was found NEGATIVE for HSV 2. More proof for those who have HSV 1 that a low positive is worth a retest. I am so relieved.
