False positive herpes result?

2018-05-30 06:14:18
I had my last sexual encounter before 5 months. After 5 month I took Herpes hsv1 IgG and hsv1 IgM and hsv2 IgG and hsv2 IgG test which came back negative. And then again i repeated the same test in another lab after 10 days, both Hsv1 IgG and Hsv2 IgG came back positive :( Which is false result ? Note : I took both of my tests after 5 months of last sexual encounter in a week span between. Pls advise

Get back to both the labs and show them the other labs reports. Ask them to confirm the reports. They will do it for free. One way is to go for third lab and confirm yourself. Anyway if there were no symptoms anytime in past then you are less likely to have hsv. In case old infection was there then IGG test will be positive.
