My herpes blood test came out abnormally high/ positive (after 9 days of symptoms of just pins & needles & tingling on and off (no sores). is there a chance the test could be wrong? the day i first had symptoms was after i kissed someone (within hrs?

Nine days is too soon: it takes several weeks for the HSV blood tests to become positive. So your positive result has nothing to do with your symptoms. Anyway, "pins & needles" and on and off "tingling" are NOT herpes symptoms. Such symptoms can precede outbreaks of herpes blisters/sores, but by themselves are never due to herpes. Also, herpes blood tests aren't always reliable. Discuss w/ doctor

About half of the adults have been infected with HSV 1. You may have been infected before the recent kissing episode. For information on prevalence of Herpes: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/databriefs/db304.htm#:~:text=The%20prevalence%20of%20HSV%2D1,and%2040%E2%80%9349%2C%20respectively.
