A member asked:
Was diagnosed with herpes 2. number 1.6. took the test again a year later same number. could the results be a false positive?

Herpes virus 2: The blood test has very little meaning unless you have symptoms of the disease. This is a very complicated problem and your doctor can explain it all to you. All the test means is that you have been exposed to the virus and now are a carrier of the disease. Please have your doctor explain more to you and you have no need for this blood test ever again in my opinion.
