      Which type are you positive for? The private messaging feature on this site does not support photos, I'm afraid.

      Yes, links can be sent. It would be helpful if you could find out your numeric values, otherwise go to a clinic/lab that reports the values, not just the reference range interpretation.

      Is it possible this is false 3 doctors say the redness is 90% sure not herpes???that its all in my head

      It's possible that one positive is false, but unlikely both, and the one that is positive could well be oral, as the test cannot and does not confirm site of infection. What's going on with your penis could thus be all unrelated. But that is also just speculation. The numeric values would be helpful.

      Hi feliz i dont know what to do but this stress is really killing me and i just got a positive for both. No numbers. I cant really continue like this can i just go straight for the westernblot i really went down hill with this news it messed me up mentally to the point i was gonna hurt myself sad my babygirl was just born my wife tested negative hsv2 positive hsv1 idk what to do sad

      Do the western blot then, but only the one from the University of Washington is any good and it's not cheap or easy to arrange. You need to wait 4 months from exposure, if applicable. Or you can find a clinic/lab that reports IgG index values and retest, like I suggested.

      It's possible you only have HSV1 (orally) and that this is causing a low false positive for HSV2. IgG index values would give a better idea, while the western blot should give a true diagnosis.

      I really dont know what i would do if this is correct sad i hace had a risky life due to alot of partners in my past and just got this news after my daughter was born sad really been distracting me as a dad

      But it might not be anything, or only HSV1, and even if it is HSV2, it's not as bad as it seems at first. You have a partner, a baby, and no symptoms -- it's not bad! Whatever you think has been bothering you for six months straight also isn't herpes, as herpes doesn't persist like that. You need to step back, think straight and prioritise.

      You are really helping me

      So much Right now as i havent been able to express my self with no1 my family supports me but talking over and over about this i feel as they are getting tired of me sad question do you have this or are u a counseler .?

      I was 'gifted' gHSV2 by a #!?$@! whom I am happy to forget but never forgive, lol, and I was pretty devastated at first, but like you, I have others dependent on me, so I pulled myself together, got healthy, and now barely think about it. But I continue to help others on here, because there's a lot of false info out there and the tests are confusing to understand, even very misleading in some circumstances. So, I guess I've become an unofficial counsellor of sorts as well! Always happy to help those who want to be helped. smile
