Was this an Igg test that you took? Personally, I'd confirm with a Western Blot. I mean, maybe you had a sore once and didn't know but that's pretty unusual. It is definitely manageable and many have no issues with it. In relationships, have kids, etc. But I'd really want a further understanding with a confirmation test. The Western Blot test is over 99 percent accurate. There would be no question at that point and false positives otherwise DO happen. The CDC recommends that anyone who tests positive on an IgG based test with an index value that falls between a 1.1 and 3.0 should get confirmatory testing (experts say the Western Blot is the best confirmatory test). Research shows that there can even be false positives above this range in some people.
