TP14

She plans to get tested in august, that will be definitive for me. I'm the same way I hate being in limbo.

I know that's what I'm hoping too, to go from a positive for both before the 3 month mark and have no symptoms to negative for both a month later makes me believe it was a false positive. She also has endometriosis idk if that would have any effect

Hi All, My girlfriend of the past few months at my request got an STD test. It was an IGG which was taken in the second week of may, her results came back positive for both types of HSV. The scores were HSV-1 over 5.0 and HSV-2 was 3.6 as you can imagine we were both startled. She spoke to her Ex due to her having no symptoms or outbreaks. The last time they had been together was in early February, he got tested which came back negative. So she waited 1 month and retested which came back negative for both types of HSV. She was given the generic form of a herpes medication but only took it for 5 days and decided to not take it until she was retested. Should I trust this test as it was taken in June and her last sexual contact with anyone else was in early February. Could the first test just have been a false positive? Her retest was at the 4 month mark and it was negative for both.

Yes she did it at the same lab, has never had any signs. The only difference is her lab sent the first test out for testing and her second test the did in house. She's a nurse at a obgyn clinic so the doctors wanted to see for their selves. The only thing I could think was it was a false positive. I'm new to all of this, always practiced safe sex and been tested regularly always beg for everything so, it just struck me as odd.

I just don't know which test to trust the 1st or second.

I'll tell her about the Western Blot. Her retest a month after her first test came back negative for both, so that's why I'm scratching my head.
