Specializes in Infectious Disease

HSV1 positive: Those results confirm you are infected with HSV type 1, as are half of all persons over 20 years old (in the US). This is usually due to an oral infection, usually acquired in childhood and not an STD. You probably do not have HSV2, the usual cause of genital herpes.
