TESTED POSITIVE FOR HSV 2....

I recently went to A local clinic to get tested for my annual exam. As soon as my doctor looked at my vagina he said I had herpes. So then he gives me a blood text and the lab that processed it is quest diagnostics. I'm really freaking out because the guys I've slept with all have been tested and they said there test Test are negative. I'm going to get a second opinion at planned parenthood because I believe I was misdiagnosed. What are the chances of my text being a false positive? And should I wait before I retest? Please help me cause I'm freaking out!!!!

Do you have details of the exact test you had and the results? You're looking for an IgG HSV2 antibody test with a strong positive value to confirm a visual diagnosis.

Herpes is rarely provided as part of a routine STD test so being clear of anything will not always mean clear of herpes.
