Confused!!!!!
I went to the doc. because I was uncertain of some bumbs that appered down there the doc. did swab test it came up negative for herpes than I did a urine test because my pms was late so about a week later someone calls me and says my urine is positive of herpes type 1 I'm thinking to my self he took a swab and said I was negative so I told my bf he went to go get tested everything came back negative so I went to get a 2nd opinion I told her everything she was just as confused as I was she told me she been working with herpes victims for awhile and she never did she give anyone a urine test for herpes ugh so confused!!
false positives are an issue with the blood testing, not cultures hence my advice to follow up on this more.

And when I went to go see the doc about my problems was bout 2 or 3 months ago than I finally went to go get a secound opin cuz it just didn't seem right docs can give out false positive I hear it all the time
Its likely I don't have it the doc did every thing on me and whe the one who told me false results I didn't take the meds so its more likely I don't have it I went to a doc and I will keep a eye on further results like both of the docs I went to go see for second opinion they both said I never heard of some people doing urine test for that all the other place was suppose to do was give me a pergo test with the urine both came up negative and negative but I will be waiting to see if there are problems in there near furture but not right now I don't see any proablems with me but thanks
I really don't think you have the final answers yet to be honest.
a lesion culture done genitally without any symptoms isn't likely to come back as +.
A newly acquired herpes infection can take a few weeks/months to show up in the blood tests as well as the blood tests aren't as good at detecting hsv1 as they are hsv2.
A + pcr on urine means it's pretty likely you really do have it. did you ever follow up to see if it was pcr on urine they did?

So glad I got a second opinion something just didn't seem right from the get go with the other place I went to
I had a blood test and they did something else down there not to sure what but it was negative
as I said, they can do pcr on urine. it's not a good way to test because it usually comes back negative but if they did pcr on urine and it was hsv1+ then indeed you do have hsv1 genitally. the only other way to test urine is a viral culture on it but odds are they didn't do that but ask if they did.
I did not have a blood test its just really confusing I got a swab test on my bump down below the doc. said it was a ingrowing hair I took a urine test becuase it was possible that I was pergo they called me back saying my urine was positive for herpes type 1 it just dosen't make since to me nore the doc. I am going to see in a week from now
If all your boyfriends had an IgG blood test done then you didn't get HSV from him. The swab he did would have to have been of a herpes sore that was present for no more then 48 hours to help with getting the best swab done.
Have you had a herpes type specfic IgG blood test?

you need to ask what testing was done on your urine for herpes. You can actually test for herpes in urine but you have to do pcr on it which most providers aren't doing and you also have to have an active lesion present which you did have. it's not a good way to test but call and make sure it was urine testing that was + and not other testing.
how was your bf tested for herpes? can he recall ever having had a cold sore ever?
