hi bro.

i know this questions abit noob. i went to DSC for herpes blood test. 1 week later i received SMS from them to make an appointment to collecty result..

i am not if this is a concern like my result is positive ?

i got took herpes test before in DSC. the 1st time result the just sms said result is negative. but this time they ask to make appointments which is different from the 1st time.

not sure what does this means @.@

It probably means that it shows "positive" but Herpes results are notoriously hard to interpret so they need to explain things to you. Herpes test results are not black and white they are many shades of grey.

Read this post by Dr Tan for more info regarding HSV testing.

80% of the world would test positive so if you are negative you are one of the exceptions.

I'd be very surprised if you did not have HSV1. It isn't considered to be an STD anyway so why worry? It's just like having Chickenpox.

If you have never had any outbreaks there is no reason to bother about it.

Any future partner you may end up with has an 80% chance of having it too.

What sort of HSV test did you do? Was it a blood test or did they take a fluid sample during an outbreak?

[cocky1234]

blood test. consider lucky ba i only positive for hsv type 1. n type 2 is negative. if positive for type 2 the implication is greater

How do you know the blister is herpes? Have you shown it to a doctor?

Agree with boss.

Don't jump to conclusions. Having a +ve HSV serology (blood) test (even if it is a true +ve which is hard to determine) does NOT mean they symptoms you currently have are due to HSV 1.

The best thing you can do right now is to see a doctor and get a swab test done for your blister. Only then you can know if that blister is caused by HSV or not.

If it is not, then you are just part of the 90% of the world that carries the HSV 1 virus. No big deal.

Hi Dr.Tan, the doc dint ask me to show the blister. instead counsel me not to be emotionally down etc.
