Reply To: Could be False Positives ?

[michaelscott]

I had meningitis as a baby ( i’m fine now) and chickenpox as a kid, never got vaccinated for it. In your opinion, Do you think the value was so high for HSV1/ HSV2 right away could be because of cross reactions of the viruses? could the positive results be misleading? Or the results are right and that I’ve had it along time & never showed symptoms and possibly gave it to him?

Im kind of confused, my dr didn’t really explain the results to me but based on my results, do i have HSV1 or HSV2 or Both types? And how much of a risk of transmitting the virus to someone through kissing or giving oral is have hsv2 / hsv1 while im on meds?

Do you think its worth it for me to get a western blot to confirm the results ? or should i accept my results that i have now?
