A member asked:
Std panel all came negative except hsv-1 igg test- high positive(22.5). hsv-2 igg negative. i have no symptoms or any outbreaks ever. last year i tested all negative. i am really worried. can i be false positive for hsv-1 or do any confirmatory test?

Yes HSV 1 tests can be false positive. It is the HSV-2 which causes problems in humans and worrisome not so much HSV!. So do not worry much and have your doc repeat a western blot type of test next time

I tested positive for hsv 2, IGG 3.4 , I have never had symptoms, or felt any discomfort. I do std yearly, and first time doing hsv as I noticed never tested. Do I need to be on medicine? Also, any chance this is false? Not likely , right since 1.09?
