Yes: Aside from falsely positive tests, previous exposure may turn out positive in tests, meaning that you have a dormant infection without active lesions at the time of the test.your best reference would be your doc who can comment on actual results and design a plan going forward.

It depends...: ...on exactly what HSV test you had. If you were having genital symptoms and swab was positive by DNA testing (PCR) or culture, false positive results are very rare; you have genital herpes for sure. Blood test interpretation depends on the details. If strongly positive (ELISA value 3.5 or higher), you have HSV2, but not necessarily causing symptoms. If positive but lower, maybe false positive.
