If your partner does not have HSV 2, then I’m unclear why you are still worried about this at all? Are you still concerned that you might have had HSV 2 from a long time ago? It is also possible that whatever caused your previous partner to have a false positive may have also been transmitted to you and is impacting your western blot – just a wild guess.
As for HSV 1 – it generally recurs infrequently, on average, once every other year. So are you feeling that you can’t know if your symptoms for HSV 1 are oral or genital or both? If that is the question then take some swabs might be able to help you with that question.
I do not see any value in repeating the western blot. However, if you were interested in participating in our study at the clinic for people with indeterminate results, we would be grateful and you can be paid $50 for your participation. If you are interested, please contact Rene at our office.
