What are the chances that Herpes test was wrong?
3 years ago I had a swab test for herpes , the test was negative. However I have started to show similar symptoms as before. What are the chances that the test was wrong? and are there something else it could be?

hi welcome,
no need to hesitate go for the test again in another lab without informing the past history.
