Herpes SImplex Virus 1 IGG is 0.45 which is Negative,
Herpes SImplex Virus 2 IGG is 0.17 which is Negative,
Herpes Simplex IGM is 1.46 Which Came Positive. But didnt Show which one.
My Doctors Says It a Recent Infection, And Ask me To Get Tested agian for IGG in 4 weeks.
But Last time I had intercourse was on Feb 16 2009. I was in One year Relationship at that Time. After that Until Today I am not Involved in Intercourse or any Physical Contact. We Exchanged Blood In In Feb 08. She was Negative for Every Thing. IGG and IGM and So As I.
Last year In Feb '08 I got all My Blood Work Done for My Psoriasis Treatment That is Embrel Shots.
What does it Mean?
If didnt Have Any sexual and Physical Contact With Any kind, How Can I get IGM Postive
DO I Have Herpes? or Am I in In the Path of Getting it?
Is I.46? Higher? Can it be Lowered? or Cured?
DO I Need My Physician for Antibiotics Right away? WHat do I need to do?
Please Advice. Thanks.

She's incorrect, I'm sorry. And pretty shocked that someone specializing in STDs is not aware of the problems associated with IgM tests. Perhaps you could pose this questions to Drs. Handsfield and Hook on the STD board, see if they agree.

The IgM test is completely unreliable, and should not be used to diagnose herpes. There are false positives on this test. If your last sexual contact was in February and she tests negative for herpes, then you have waited long enough for an accurate test and should pay attention only to the IgG test. It is possible that your physician is not aware of the problems with the IgM test.
