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.
you already have your original post where we discussed your testing and what it might mean. please just continue to follow up there if you have more questions.
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.
