Update. I talked to the Virology Center at the University of Washington where I will send my blood for the western blot. They told me that my numbers for being positive (2.48 and 2.50) are in well within the range they establish (2.50-3.50) of being a possible false positive. They wanted me to wait until at the earliest, the end of October to do the test, just to give me time to seroconvert if I have it. BTW the ex boyfriend said he tested negative. Do I trust him, who knows. I still have not had any sores or symptoms at all. Geez, I look at every itch or anything. I am so tired of looking! LOL

After my husband cheated and I left him (we had not had sex in moths), I was tested for "exposure" in April 2012. All tests were negative except HSV1. Ok, no problem, I knew I have had cold sores before. Then I met this absolutely wonderful man on Sept 9, 2012. He told me all the right things and I fell in love at first sight. I knew he was going to be my life-long partner. I told him I loved him unconditionally on Feb 7, 2013 and he said he didn't feel the same way but he wanted me in his life forever and that I am his best friend. We would still have sex and I didn't know he started seeing other women, too. We were still having sex!! When I finally found out that he was on at least the second gf, I got tested again. This time I was positive for HSV 1 & 2. He didn't seem to care too much and promised he had been with no other woman while we were together (found out from his ex wife and an ex gf that I was just one in a long line of women he has had sex with) His own son calls him a "man whore". I got tested again, and it was pos for HSV 1 and neg for HSV 2 and the common AB. ARUP lab suggested another sample or to be tested by glycoprotein G type specific ELISA. Meanwhile, he got tested but has not told me his results. My ELISA test came back positive for types 1&2. Now I am getting the information to have the Western Blot test from Univ. of Washington. Supposed to have a specificity of >99%. I am confused as to why my tests keep going both ways. I pray this last one will be negative.
