HSV test, help

just had a herpes test done and the results were positive herpes 1igg and negative herpes 2igg.  However it also says im positive with herpes 1 and 2 igm at 7.93.  The reason i got tested was a got really sick and devolped bad cold sores on my lips after they got chapped and i bit them open.  I wasnt sure if i had ever got cold sores before but the Herpes 1igg says otherwise.  Last possible exposure to herpes 2 was in april or may 6-7 months ago, as the girl im with now was tested negative for both.  Im really freaked out now because the doc just said he cant explain it and now i think i have genital herpes even though ive never had any sores or anything down there.  Please help.

after reading through the forum, im under the impression that the herpes 1 & 2 igm positive could be from the cold sores on my lips?.... since my herpes 2 igg was negative .03 and my last sexual contact was months ago?  i just dont understand all this and my anxiety is through the roof. anyone?.....

The igm test should've never been drawn on  you. totally disregard its results.

Your hsv1 igg is positive which explains the cold sores.

your hsv2 igg is negative.
