Herpes IgG means that you have genital herpes.  You should assume that you are shedding the virus at all times.  Therefore, you should use a condom (I assume you're male) when having sex.  IgM antibodies only occur soon after an infection, but in a chronic state would be negative.  You really should check the interpretation with the doctor and lab who ordered the tests, though, as soon as you can.

Best.
