How common is it to be misdiagnosed with herpes?
jdcl3324 asked:
I was told by a doctor I had it over four years ago, because although she wasn't sure what it was, she didn't know what else it could be. I recently had a blood test that proved that it is less than .09% likely that I have any version of herpes. Just wondering how often this may occur...
Titan: I am more than aware what herpes is, I thought I had it for four years and have done my research. Most people have HSV 1 (cold sores) but the test proves that I don't even have that
sktodd: Thanks for the input, that's exactly what I'm looking for. Do you know where I can get some stats about that or why it is so common??

the simplex herpes is a virus that u carry for life you cant get rid of it and isnt dangerous,symptoms are the usually cold sores around the mouth and nose and are triggered by cold,wind,stress or flu and even strong sunlight.
the virus is passed on from birth if your mother had it or from kissing someone who has it,but dont stress out about it its very common!

I was told by a doctor that i have herpes too, when i went to see my ob/gyn, he told me that i didnt have it, he also said that of the people that are diagnosed with herpes 75% actually dont have it. Therefore it is very common to be misdiagnosed with herpes. I hope this helps you out.

Control Herpes Natually!
it can be misdiagonosed, sometimes people get random sores down there and b/c the doctor is not really sure what else it could be hell say its something common that you’ve heard of. Don’t get stressed about it, its just one of those things u cant change.

see thats the thing doctor’s arent always right… i had a situation with a positive test and i thought i had something all this time but in fact got tested again about a month ago and came back clear…umm i mean my health has improve since i was first tested, some times if you take great care of your body it can fight off whatever is wrong… i would continue to get tested every six months just to be safe…
