Hi Terri, can you clarify that response for me, please? My question is about an HSV-1 test and your response is about HSV 2.
To recap:
HSV-1 was negative a year and a half ago. I had NO possible chance of exposure in the past two years, but HSV-1 came up positive (1.18) last month. I re-tested two weeks later and HSV-1 came up negative again.
Consider negative the final answer for HSV-1 and assume the positive was a false positive?
Thanks!
