IGG - IGM test result.... What does this mean?

IGG - IGM test result.... What does this mean?

I was tested positive for HSV-2 and negative for HSV-1 a few weeks ago, via a HSV type sensitive blood test.

I'm am trying to find out if this is a recent infection I may have caught a few months ago, or if I had a dormant HSV-2 infection for many years and did not know it.
I had a questionable incident a few months ago, and it is important for me to find out if I got infected then or many years ago without knowing it.

I did an IGG-IGM test as I was told that the presence of IGM may indicate a recent infection.
Of course I got the results and I have no idea what they mean.

Test Name          In Range      Out Of Range      Reference Range

IGG, SERUM         982                                     694 - 1618 mg/dL
IGM, SERUM         93                                         48 - 271  mg/dL

What do these levels mean?
I see 93 for IGM, does this indicate a recent infection?

Please help!

Tex

Sorry Grace,

This is a new test I just got the results of today. Since I was having a hard time getting the avidity test done, the lab technician told me to get this IGM IGG test to see if I can get some answers about how old the infection is... I will write my new test results in the original post.
