High Positive with Herpeselect, Negative for Biokit
I have been with the same boyfriend for 3 years. Either of us are experience any outbreak, but just a doctor recommend to check the STDs since I have the urine infection. As I known, herpes test usually not include in a routine check but they did it anyhow. The result came back in September 27
HSV 1 8.0 - positive (The result was from Herpeselect Kit from Focus Diagnostics, cross-reactivity with CMV, NZV, HHV6, and VZV viruses is possible)
I have had chicken pox vaccine when I was little. I'm not sure if that the cause for the positive result.
I went to the STDs specialist and have the Biokit test (October 5), and the result came out negative.
Is there confirmed that I have negative? or should I run another any other test?

Im not following this at all. If you test values for hsv2 was 3 or below, this is a sign of a false positive and if you tested a second time with the biokit (which is hsv2 specific) then your negative. If you tested for hsv2 and had a value of 8 and retested and was below 1, something is wrong here.
Hi, well the biokit is just for hsv2 so your issue of hsv1 is the question. If you had the herpes select type specific and had an 8 then you are positive with no false positive issues. You most likely got it as a child
