I checked with doctor, The soar on the penis was just cut(crack) of skin.
Even it is not on the penis actually, its on the skin which is covering penis.

Well having 2 positives would be considered conclusive but it is almost certainly oral from childhood. Are you worried you got herpes from a sex act outside your marriage? If so, what was the time of the penis sore appearing ant the sex act and what was the sex act if this is what this is about?

Well this would confirm positive and its most likely oral. The only way to know the location is to have a sore swabbed within 48 hours after appearing.

Hi Doctor,

I had a protected sex 4 months back.
I have asked the doctor about the cut on the penis, he said that's normal  while doing sex it happens.
And for sake I have tested, results showed as described above.
Sorry for asking again, Do I have any STD? Because, I do not have any symptoms. I am tested all of the other testes as negative, this one is only positive.
That is why I am worrying.

If the test you took states that any number above 1.2 is positive then a 3.3 would fall into the false positive range if you took the test at least 3 months post any exposure. Any number 3.5 and below means a false positive needing retesting or a recent infection where antibodies are still building.
