What Causes A Positive Herpes Test Result After A Yeast Infection?

Herpes testing
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
You are worried that a recent test fro herpes was positive despite never having symptoms. There are 2 types of herpes type 1 and type 2. Genital herpes is usually a type 2 infection. Type one is usually the oral canker sores on the lips or mouth. Your test could be positive either of these infections a long time ago. Since you have had no outbreaks then I would not be concerned. I would look closely at the results and see which type you were positive with and if it was IgG or IgM. These results need to be interpreted with caution.
Your recent bladder and yeast infection would not have influenced the test.
I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions
