I'm very prone to boils and ingrown hairs I also have folliculitis due to my coarse hair down there but recently I tested 1.41 for HSV2 which i strongly believe is a false positive and now any little thing down there worries me. This is usually how my boils look then I pop them and pus comes out and hair. I usually see herpe sores looking like hole punches which mine doesn't please I need a second input.image

    1.41 its a very low value. mine was 1.40 and then 1.09 the following year. due to it being so low i didnt stress or thought i had herpes. The doctors said its equivocal. false positive. Take it easy on yourself
