Just found out I have HSV 2 with blood work


Recommended Posts

So I got blood drawn a month ago and I finally got my results and I was both HSV1 and HSV2 positive my HSV 1 was at a 56. Which I’ve had for a long time and occasionally get cold sores and my HSV 2 result was 1.66 I’ve never had any symptoms or outbreaks but I do have a lot of ingrown hair bumps could that be considered symptoms? And if I do have it it was from 2 years that I was with an ex that gave me 2 other STDs and it’s the last person I had unprotected sex, does anyone think I could have been a false positive? It makes me sad cuz I am older and I don’t have kids and I think no one will want to even take me serious. :(

I'm not an expert by any means, but I think you should retest. It's a low igg. I'm not sure what it should be after 2 years, but I think it would be higher. If you've had sex since then, but protected, you could have got it more recently. I still vote to retest though. Check out Terri Warren's forums and consider a Western Blot if needed.

Thank you for answering well I finally had a look at my results more carefully so HSV1 was a score of 34 and HSV2 was a score of 1.33 and yes I have had sex protected but it would be to early for me to test for that encounter for it to show up on the test I don’t know if you get what I mean? I’ve been trying to look at it but I can’t find it, I am just trying to find answers because I don’t want to infect no one else that the last time I want to do to someone
