Did you get a positive index value of 11 for HSV one or HSV two? Did anybody swab the lesion on your labia? If this does represent an HSV-2 infection, it is not a new infection but rather one that has been established for a while. Does this fit with your sexual history? I have seen false positives on the IgG test with index values as high as 17. What did the clinician think about the white bump when you were seen?
