This forum is an un-mediated, patient-to-patient forum for questions and support regarding herpes issues such as: Herpes symptoms and treatments, causes, diagnosis, and herpes in men, tests, telling your spouse or partner.
Does anyone know how often the false positives happen for the IgM test? How likely is that to be the case and how likely is it that I DID contract HSV 1 or 2?
Should I abstain from kissing too? Wouldn't it be possible for me to transmit HSV-1 now? assuming I have it, then I must have gotten it from someone who was asymptomatic so I could still pass it on if I was asymptomatic?
Also, what if I had a cervical outbreak? Is there any way to tell? What kind of discharge should I be looking for?
I'd appreciate any advice. I've been making myself crazy with worry. Thank you very much!
I am sure you are fine!!! Stop reading the internet. IGM = Waste of Money. You are not likely to contract herpes from what you said so unless you have any physical symptoms which you would of had by now, you are fine!!!!!!
