Shingles

I tested positive for herpes. (HSV 1 AND 2 1gG TYPE SPECIFIC AB at 1.54 H and greater than 5.00 H respectively.) I was having an outbreak of shingles at the time. Could this have affected the test results?

No, but tell me more about the outbreak of shingles. Where is it and have you ever had it before?
