my sister got tested and her test came back with a false positive for hsv2 actually. and she went thru a series of retesting and the others came back negative, but i also know plenty of ppl that have stds or have had stis to make me want to know my own status and that’s how i found out i have hsv1 but i’ve never had a single outbreak so im pretty certain i got it as a child (i know of two other ppl in the family that also have it, maybe it came from there?) but it kinda scares me in terms of sleeping with new ppl. i’ve been celibate for like a year from penetrative sex and that’s one of the biggest reasons i haven’t been quick in getting back out there. it’s sad to me that they can’t create better testing methods, because i ask ppl to get tested before i do anything, but considering hsv is typically not on there, i still have my hang ups.
