What Is The Appropriate Treatment For Herpes Simplex?
I was tested for STDs a week back through WWW.WWWW.WW because I hadn't been tested in a while and wanted to, I did not have any symptoms or anything, but the results came back saying positive for herpes simplex 1. What do these extra numbers mean that came with the test, Value: 4.79 Range: 0.0-0.09? Also how can I know how long I have had it?

You cant know how long you have it. if there is no symptoms then treatment isnt neccesary. herpes may be inactive for whole life. If outbreaks occur then you need antiherpetic drugs
