Hi there. I do believe there seems to be some confusion or perception difficulties & incongruencies in your symptoms, clinical description & tests. HVP is a term that is not applicable here. If you are alluding to HPV (human papilloma virus), then fine but the symptoms & description & tests are not for this virus & this virus leads to the formation of what we commonly term warts . Now, Zoster or Herpes Zoster is the medical term for Shingles & is at best a misnomer in the English Language because it leads you to believe the infection is caused by the herpes virus where as in truth, it is a latent infection caused by the Varicella Zoster (commonly known as chicken pox) virus. The Blood test that you describe is possibly HSV or Herpes Simplex Virus & there are commonly 2 strains that are tested for HSV1 & HSV2. This can be either sexually or non-sexually transmitted & are a recurrent pesky issue. Shingles is NOT caused by this HSV virus & herpes infection is a separate virus. I do hope I have managed to put your query in perspective. Do feel free to call on me at Vikram Hospital Bangalore for further clarifications. Good Luck & Godspeed! Dr Praveen Rodrigues MD
