I have a question I had a Hsv 1 igg test done and tested positive with a 2.37. My hsv 2 was <.90.. this was done in March. I decided to have a retest today since I haven't been myself lately. What are the chances of being a false positive? Can it be my anxiety that is making me feel this way? Ever since I got the news I have this raw feeling down there. I haven't seen any fluid like blisters around my labia. What triggered my Dr. Appt today was a small red bump on my labia can this be a lesion of HSV 1? Reason I tested was because after two weeks of my encounter I started experiencing flu like symptoms.

She did a swab culture should find out in two weeks. Do they look like pimples?

Hi, a 2.37 does fall into the false positive range in need of retesting. But unless the red spot was swabbed, if you are positive for hsv1 we wont know which area, oral or genital.
