There is an excellent chance that both of these are false positives, yes. I would absolutely recommend the western blot, most certainly, but please wait 12 weeks from the concerning sexual encounter in April for greatest accuracy. Have you ever had a cold sore in your lifetime? If yes, then you can count on the positive HSV 1.
