The answer is the second one: False negative.

Explanation for each option:

  1. True positive: This would mean the person has herpes and the test correctly identifies the presence of the virus. This is not the case here.

  2. False negative: This is when a person has the condition (herpes in this case) but the test incorrectly shows a negative result. This matches the scenario described in the question.

  3. False positive: This would mean the person does not have herpes, but the test incorrectly indicates that they do. This is not applicable here.

  4. True negative: This would mean the person does not have herpes and the test correctly shows a negative result. This is not the situation described.

In summary, the scenario described is an example of a false negative result.
