The fact that you’ve had symptoms that you think might be herpes combined with a relatively high HSV-2 index value suggests to me that you are likely infected with HSV two. I have seen false positives at this index value and higher, and if you want additional confirmation, we can set up the Western blot antibody test for you done at the University of Washington. If you do have HSV to infection genitally, he will likely have a recurrence at some point. If that happens, I would strongly suggest that you have it swab tested as soon as it shows up. This may happen before you do a western blot. But you can do the western blood at any point if you choose to do so.
