I got an std test and im unsure what the results mean. i tested positive for hsv 1.10. is that hsv 1? common cole sores?

Herpes type 1 : A positive hsv 1 titer does not mean much. 90% of americans have this result meaning they have an antibody indicating past exposure to herpes type 1. This is the virus that causes cold sores. In general it is not considered an std although it can be transmitted during oral sex.

Depends on the Test: There are 2 tests for hsv. Both have a threshold of 1.10. This means that you were positive for hsv if your value was greater than 1.1. You would be positive for hsv1 if they used a type 1 test. You would be positive for hsv2 if they used a type 2 test.
