false positive???????? HELP!!!!!!

[dumbone]

Hi, i just tested low positive at 2.19 for hsv2, i think, i was in shock when the dr told me. it was 2. something, anyhow, i have been tested religoously for the last 10 years and always rendered a negative result, i have been with my current partner for the last year, he claims to never have had any symptoms.  I have never had any symptoms at all.  have always tested negative and am not promiscuouis at all!  I truely do not believe this test result, the dr. said it could be a false negative an not to worry about it to come in and get retested tomorrow.  not worry?  yea right!!  i feel like i want to die!!   how likely is it that this is a false positive and should i request a western blot?  
I honestly cannot believ this.  by the way, i tested negative for it in march of this year and have only had one partner, the same one i had then.  HELP!!!

just an update, i am going tomorrow to get the biokit redone.  just need something until i get the wb.  I will post the update!  wish me luck!  

still no symptoms, no anything!!! including no sex !!! lol  its been over 2 months since sex with my partner who tested negative.  

26 weeks since sex with my ex.  if this biokit is negative should i try and accept that as the truth while i wait for the wb?

hi, i hope you are well.  did you ever get your results?

Grace, i am just back from out of town on buisness.  this is so stressful.  should i trust the biokit?  i am going to get another one done next week, just to ease my mind, still working on getting the WB.  I am so worried.  still no sypmtoms.  i dont know what to think

Good luck to you dumbone, we are going through the same thing!!
although i tested positive 3 times with herpesselect. Three low positives in that order:
IGG 1.34
IGG 1.22
IGG 1.94
I never had an outbreak and i have been dealing with this since July!!
I finally ordered a WB ($162.50) and had to overnight it with Fedex (from Florida-another $65) and i am officially a broke college student now. I should get my results sometime by the end of the week.

Good luck to you and I encourage you to order the WB as well

I am going to retest with the biokit when i get back from out of town.  I hope that gives me some peace, i have a new dr trying to order the WB and he really seems to believe i am negative.  I hope so!!  I will keep everyone posted

yes it was enough time for the biokit.

hopefully some good sleep helps :)

I think i could do the cleaning and keep the wine flowing.  LOl

Thanks so much grace.  I am really trying to convince myself that the biokit and the fact my partners are negative and i was negative in april are the accurate facts.  its just hard because those stupid numbers keep apearing in my dreams.  lol  I am going to get the WB done as soon as i can afford to, hopefully next month.  I am assuming that since it was over 6 months since i was with my ex, and my current partner is negative that it will be accurate at this point.

Also, one more question.  when i did the biokit, it had been 22 weeks since last encounter with my ex.  Would this have been enough time to accurately test with biokit, considering my new partner is negative?

Should i just stop freaking out so much and worrying myself sick?  

BTW my therapist started me on zoloft and gave me some sleeping pills.  i hope that helps.

Thanks
