HERPES 2 INFECTION POSSIBLE? SEX WORKER WITH POSITIVE ANTIBODY IGG!!

5 weeks ago I had sex with a prostitute with condom

I want to know what are my chances of having contracted the virus Herpes II
I did 2 tests IgM antibody. the first 7 days: 2.3 and the second at 28 days: 2.6. both were negative (0 - 10 negative)
My igG test: 0.1 Negative! in 7 days ( < 0.50 negative )

check my genitals daily and do not see symptoms
how reliable is the IgM test?

I did the test for IgG antibodies to prostitute and went positive!
Please I am very worried, help!

Your odds from a single protected exposure are very close to zero. If it was unprotected your odds are 1 in a 1000 that you would be likely to contract the virus. Your protected exposure effectively brought that down to as close to zero as you can get. I wouldn't worry and congratulations on your protected behavior.
