A member asked:

What does a single positive for hsv-1 or hsv-2 mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Kind of test?: A viral culture from an ulcer that grows hsv tells you that you have an active infection. In general, a positive blood test just implies past infection, not necessarily current activity.
