I recently had blood work done after a genital outbreak and came back positive for hsv 1 and 2. My girlfriend, who I ve been with sexually for about 3 months got tested and came back positive for 1 and negative for 2. I don t know what her numbers are yet, but my test was an IGG and my result for hsv 1 was around 40, and hsv 2 was 1.31. I ve never had issues until now, only been with two other women(both tested). Is it possible that my outbreak was caused by hsv 1 and my hsv2 was a false positive
HelloThanks for your query. You have been tested positive for HSV1 and HSV 2 infection done very recently.HSV 1and 2 infection are very common amongst sexually active individuals which can remain dormant even throughout the life It does flare up sometime or other during active sexual life and nothing to be worried about. Take medications like Acyclovir twice daily for 10 days.Try to have safe protected sex. Chat Doctor.
