A member asked:
Hsv2 inhibition came back negative (1.93). since i first tested positive, should i be worried that i could have hsv1? is it highly possible? other than the fact that its so common. since they cross react?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hsv1 and hsv2 tests do cross react. Your first hsv2 test was a false.positive and I regard that as your key finding.
