was told i have herpes, possible false positive?

They tell me I have hvs2... I'm scared.

Two weeks ago Monday I had a condom break, something felt off next day and was tested 4 days after the sex..

Now sure what test was done or levels I was only told I was positive for only herpes ...

The only symptom I have is a warm not quite burning near the head or my penis.

I'm final getting a hold of my emotions and want to be sure the test was right.

Did I test two early, should I find out my levels and what test was done?

Igm is an out dated test and picks up all herpes proteins including chicken pox. So there no reason to be scard as the test was invalid.
