Your HSV 1 is negative but your HSV 2 is positive at a low level. It could certainly be a false positive yes. Anything between 1.1 and 3.5 may be a false positive. You need a herpes western blot as a confirmatory test. Our clinic can order that for you if you need help with that. Has your girlfriend been tested? If not, she should be . When was the last time you had sex with anyone else besides her?

Please ignore the IgM test results – they are not reliable.

If your girlfriend is negative, there is a stronger chance that this is a false positive.
