      no.. i think im just freaking out because of blood work ive got done recently... it said i had 1.92 igg with a negative supplemental testing. ive read that herpes blood tests can be inaccuate, especially at that range there is a lot of false positives. its really kicked up my ocd and i dont know how to make myself feel better anymore

      Maybe get swabbed for peace of mind ... if you have no symptoms then try not to worry, i know it is easier said than done! You could also get your blood work redone? xxx

    1.92 is positive. when you say supplemental testing do you mean an IGM test? if so, a negative means you don't have a recent outbreak/infection.

    and in the picture looks like fordyce spots. People can be positive for hsv and not show symptoms
