It isn't the lab really that is the fault.  It is the test sometimes can be off.

hey grace,
i had another test taken it is negative for herpes 1 & 2 . This is my third test so what i am saying some medical people really mess you up because my boyfriend who i have been with came back negative and we have been together a long period and i have no symptoms what i suggest to everyone is to make sure and take a second test to confirm what you have some medical labs really screw you up
