What test was done? You could have recently acquired HSV 1 infection. More than half the adults have been infected with HSV 1 and the virus remains in the body or the rest of person's life. Sometimes if causes cold sores. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health! Safe sex: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/safer-sex-guidelines
