There is no known technical reason that I'm aware of. Your body just produces a lot of proteins designed to attack viruses and despite the best attempts to identify an antigen that only reacts to HSV antibodies, a proportion of the time some unknown protein will stick.

This happens a lot with this type of test. Other proteins in your blood apart from antibodies can bind with the test to give a false positive reading.

Euroimmun is a German, high quality and highly respected medical company. There have been several studies comparing Euroimmun to Herpselect and they find 100% concordance in the positive and negative results.
