Hi there,
I’m a 20 year old female who was diagnosed in December 2020. I went in for BV (which I’ve had before so it was mainly to get confirmation and antibiotics) and got routine STD screening. I had multiple partners in the few months prior, which prompted testing. Everything came back normal, and I was feeling pretty good, until my HSV2 result. The nurse basically just told me that I was positive and that I needed to contact my past sexual partners (which was scary, but of course I promptly did to relieve anxiety) No other information given, and I’ve never had any symptoms. So of course, I started my research. Basically any article out there about HSV2-I’ve browsed. I basically had to beg my doctor for my igG test number- 1.12 which made me even MORE upset because from reading, I recognize this is a low positive. Has anyone gotten another blood test a few months later to find out it WAS a false positive? I know about the Western Blot test, but unfortunately, me being a poor college student, I am unable to afford it right now. Looking for guidance here!
