I was diagnosed with EBV about 21yrs ago as a teen. Through the years I've had several episodes where the EBV has been 'active', plus I have never tested positive for any STD,  yet everything I've ever read, this is not suppose to happen and the dr. must have been wrong, yet how can blood test be wrong-multiple times over many years? My actual question is can EBV tie into other medical problems -ie: multiple cyst/tumors?

Over tha last few years I have had cyst and/or tumors several locations in my abdomen and bones, some lg.-few in. and some sm.- 1cm. For the most part the are scatter in lower torso ie: retroperitonium, bladder, in and out of ovaries (now removed), uterus (also gone now), and also my bones? I've had several of the larger growths removed, I didn't see the sense in bothering with the smaller ones-didn't want an added surgery- until this last surgery when they took both ovaries because one of the smaller tumors "looked highly suspicious", yet everything ended up coming back benign. I was told the one 'in' my hip bone will be addressed when I have my hip replacement, I also have AVN and have been procrastinating hip replacement. Anyway, these growths just apear from no-where and keep getting noticed when I have my bone scans/mri's/ct scans. My Dr. sais I just cystic, he really doesn't have an answer, and for the most part I really don't care, until they wanted my ovaries, plus they have caused some side effects-like bladder issues etc. Thank you for your insight.

What sort of cysts and tumors have you had ? I can tell you that I've read that EBV can be associated with numerous cancers.
