Can I Get STDs In Future If The Tests Are Borderline?
I recently got tested for STD's and tested negative for all. But in the section for herpes, HIV, and hepititis C there was a negative but had value numbers close to the range. Now i figure that this mean there is a chance that these infections mite show up in the near future. My question is if i treat them now can it be prevented to test positive in these catagories?

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Nothing to bother about the numbers or values of these tests whether it is on higher end or lower end. Negative or positive is important. once negative test is unlikely to become positive if it had been done after the window period for that disease unless there is a fresh unprotected exposure.
