New HSV 2 Results Could MY RESULTS BE A FALSE POSITIVE

Posted , 6 users are following.

I recently had a positive result. I've been in a Monogamist relationship for the past 20 years with not one outbreak or an std. My result was 2.20. Could it possibly be a false positive. YOUR THOUGHTS?

    I didn't refer to you but to the doctors.Something i thought is "did you have any epidural injection the past 20 days before the screening?"

      Yes. I am getting epidural injections through a pain clinic for my back. my last one was December 5, 2019. I was tested on the 22nd of December. Does epidural injections cause false positives?
