Positive for HSV2; probably you have genital herpes. Watch for symptoms of outbreaks, which can be mild and difficult to notice. If sexually active, there is a chance of transmission of genital herpes to your partner(s); that risk can be lowered if you take daily valacyclovir or acyclovir. Partner(s) can be tested to see if they are uninfected (and susceptible) or already infected. Good luck.
