Hi,
Thank you for choosing Healthcaremagic. I can understand your concerns, false positive test results may occur in some persons with a low likelihood of infection; and the diagnosis may have adverse psychological effects for some people like you. I presume you are not having any symptoms, so you dont have to worry of acquiring HSV.Testing for genital herpes can be useful when someone has genital symptoms that might be related to herpes.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. In case of any doubt, I will be available for follow-ups. If you like my answers kindly rate it, and write a review as well. Please do not forget to accept it.
Thank you,
Wish you good health.
Regards,
Dr Arif
