HSV2 information needed please

Hello,
I tested positive IGM and IGg for the HSV1,2, elisa 6 weeks after exposure. I read IGM isnt a good test combined and was wondering as both were positive if it meant that I had HSV2?
I read that IGg is usually shown more antibodies after 2 months. The laboratory technician said its a good test.
I heard the two tests combined was unreliable from someone on a herpes forum.

I can say I got a fungal infection which was also positive and its gone now I took some drugs. I didnt get HSV2 on genitals but 7 weeks in I have had 3 redish brown spots which seem to be different to what ive had before. They are sore a little but not to touch.

I didnt have flu, or swollen lymth nodes or discharge, or pain in urethra.Are any of these definate?
I had some shooting pains in back of hamstring originally but seemed to be awhile after had fungal infection.

I read having HSV2 possible anywhere below waste and wonder if next time if it is HSV2 it may go from feet to genitals?

I am working abroad and not a variety of tests here. I am thinking to ask the doctor tomorrow again to look at these sores on the feet. I understand some people get no symptoms.
