Sorry, I didn't see this and responded to the same data in the other post.

You need confirmation of the HSV2 result, it is a 50/50 call at this point.

I just told you. Positive for hsv1 and need to retest for hsv2. All the other writing is setting the rules to the test outcome. Maybe the rules should have been before the results but are after.
Your positve for hsv1 and need to retest for hsv2 as is possible its a false positive. its that simple

Hi, your surely positive for hsv1 as many  people are and acquired it at childhood but your hsv2 falls into the false positive range and maybe a false positive unless you tested too early. That would be 3 months post any sexual exposure.
