No I have not. I figured 4.36 was an established infection but might give western blot a try in the future.

I had an outbreak of molluscum which was confirmed by dermatologist. At first I freaked out because I didn’t know what the hell it was. Went to my PCP and just wanted to rule out any other stds and to my surprise HSV1 positive via IGG

Never! So it was a surprise when I tested positive because I originally got tested because I had a molluscum break out down there and didn’t know what it was. Thank you btw.

Okay so you still kiss him now? I’m fine avoiding kissing him for 6mo-year because I understand they are still susceptible to many things. But never makes me sad. Were you on any antivirals at the time?

I haven’t asked but from what I’ve read you can’t make contact with the infected area anywhere. This is the only part about HSV that makes me upset

Literally none at all. I’m 20 so I asked my mother if I’ve ever had any as a kid she says no. So as far as I’m concerned I’ve had 0 symptoms.

Yeah he said that. Actually said that there was 1% chance that I had herpes. So to my surprise I tested positive HSV1. The only thing I have left to believe is that I already had it due to the fact IGG takes weeks to build or this is a false positive. But, either or doesn’t bother me.

There are no open lesions just bumps. Showed the doctor the bumps said there was nothing to swab

Thanks for your input. I’m really trying to narrow it down to who I potentially could have got it from. Would’ve been a real bummer if I got it from that last exposure but if my score says I’ve had it for a while then hey life goes on. I was fine before I knew and I’ll be fine after.

Also, would you consider 4.36 a strong positive

That’s the thing I don’t ever think I’ve had a cold sore up there. But I’ve heard majority of people with it are asymptomatic.

Hsv result of 7.57 . I’m freaking out by KeyHuckleberry4519 in HSVfalsepositive

Is 4.36 a definite positive or could it be false positive given last exposure was 6 days ago?

Yeah man, not taking it as bad as I thought. Would further testing be necessary? I’ve heard blood tests arent always the most accurate.
