Herpes

I went to the doctor and got an sti check for everything. Which also included a blood test. It came back a low positive testing. But I never ever had an outbreak. So I called another doctor and she said that I came in contact with some one and as long as I didn't have any bumps I will be fine. The partner I was involved with went and got tested and he doesn't have it, nor had any symptoms.  It's been two months and I still never had an outbreak. What does this mean? Am I fine? What should be done ?

You do not have genital herpes, so all is good!

People with HSV on their genitals can (and do) have plenty of sex!

Thank you.

Combined testing is fairly useless. This has probably identified an oral HSV1 infection from your youth.

I thought so because a couple of months before i gotten tested, it's a habit to just get every thing. & like I said I never had any symptoms. The second doctor told me the same thing. but does that mean I can't have sex ? Or should I give it more time ?

Exactly what test did you have? IgG or IgM? Type specific for HSV1 and HSV2 or combined?
