I think your HSV 2 test could very well be a false positive, particularly since you have such a high HSV 1 index value. your life it not ruined! A PCR test is not appropriate unless you have a lesion to swab test. A blood PCR is completely inappropriate – herpes is not in blood. You need a herpes western blot to clarify this result. That is the CDC recommendation
